That article is from June 2015, he was setting the important conditions which need to be met. To be honest, the important thing was the economic sanctions. Thanks to our countrymen's efforts in previous years, we are self sufficient in many areas, especially missiles (which have the longest time until the sanctions expire). In any case, even if Iran and Russia agreed today that Iran is gonna buy the Su-30, it would still take at least 4 years before a single Su-30 lands in Iran, since there is infrastructure, pilot training, manufacturing time and other factors (like RuAF orders being of higher priority than export orders) that would mean we'd have to wait a while. The sanctions end in less than 4 years, remember.He had to accept that God damn deal and based on the deal yeah he is right some of sanctions including military sanctions will be lifted in rational intervals. What did you expect him to do?
The deal wasnt implemented like that,iran only received "sanctions relief" after it had dismantled its nuclear infrastructure not when the deal was initially signed.
I don't think its actually possible to do it immediately, it takes time to pass legislation and for the market to adjust to the removing of sanctions. It was probably just a face saving measure on the part of the Americans.
