Iran Sanctions

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman has strongly denounced the US president’s move to sign a bill on new anti-Iran sanctions, saying the country reserves the right to respond to Washington’s measures against the Islamic Republic.

Iran says it has a clear scenario on how and when to return to its pre-JCPOA nuclear work if the other parties to the deal contravene the agreement.

A political analyst says the US president seems to be in a rush to tear apart the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers without taking into account the political fallout from such a move.

Two Iranian experts of international law have discussed why the Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile tests are not against the UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

A political commentator says the US hostility towards Russia and North Korea, which is also affecting China, will gradually reduce the number of Washington’s friends in the international arena.

A senior Iranian official says the recent anti-Iran sanctions approved by the US Congress clearly breach the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, but the violation is not still in a fundamental manner.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman has denounced the US approval of a draft law on fresh sanctions against the Islamic Republic, describing it as an illegal and insulting act that endangers the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

President Hassan Rouhani has denounced the US House of Representatives’ approval of a draft law on fresh sanctions against Iran, saying the Islamic Republic would “definitely”​ give a proportionate response to the hostile move

An Iranian legislator says Tehran has no commitment to contracting out the development of its oil fields to India.

Spokesman for the Iranian Administration Mohammad Baqer Nobakht described recent US sanctions against the Islamic Republic as a violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, also known as the JCPOA, pledging that Tehran will take “a decisive action” on the issue.

A senior Iranian cleric has hailed the recent remarks by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif about Tehran’s preparedness to withdraw from the JCPOA, and called on Rouhani’s government to immediately pull out of the ‘harmful’ nuclear deal.

Iran says it could resort to its own options if the mechanisms featured in its 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers, including the US, fail to force other parties to live up to their end of the bargain.

Iranian foreign minister has lashed out at the US administration for its efforts to undermine the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, saying Washington is trying to make it impossible for Iran to get the benefits of the deal.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted the new anti-Tehran sanctions announced by the Trump administration and said the new US president should stop sending hostile signals to Iran.

The Iranian foreign ministry has denounced the ‘worthless’ move by the US administration to add a number of Iranian and non-Iran individuals and companies to its ‘illegal’ list of sanctions under the pretext that they have supported Iran’s missile program.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri cautioned the US against the “big risk” of imposing terrorism-related sanctions on the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says the sanctions that had been imposed on the country over its nuclear program impacted the Iranian nation rather than government, contrary to what the enforcers of the sanctions claimed.

A recent media report says about one and a half years after the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, at least 124 out of 298 planes in the Islamic Republic’s air fleet remain grounded due to the government’s failure to import spare parts from Europe.

Speaker of Iran’s Parliament Ali Larijani has denounced a recent anti-Iran decision by the US Senate, saying that Washington will pay a heavy price for such moves.

Iran has dismissed the ‘imprecise’ reports that the European Union has imposed new sanctions on the country, saying the body has not slapped any new bans on Iran within the past three years.

Iran’s defence minister says the restrictions imposed by the US will not put the brakes on the Iranian nation’s ongoing progress as the country has been under sanctions for the past four decades.

A senior Iranian lawmaker says the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is an international deal which will not undergo any changes under any condition.

Iran’s top parliamentarian says Washington’s ratification of unilateral sanctions against independent countries is a gross violation of international law.

The new sanctions ratified by the US Senate to be imposed against Iran run counter to the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

The Iranian lawmakers are going to discuss a motion to take reciprocal measures in retaliation to a bill the US Senate has passed to impose new sanctions on Tehran, an Iranian MP said.
