Iran to Respond to US Breaching of JCPOA, Says Velayati
Supreme Leader’s Adviser for International Affairs Ali-Akbar Velayati reacting to increased anti-Iranian sanction by US Congress said here on Friday that Iran will respond proportionately to US breaching of Joint Comprehensive Plan of action (JCPOA).
The former Iranian foreign minister who was speaking on the sidelines of a conference to survey the universities role in politics said that the moves made by the Americans are contrary with the spirit of the JCPOA, as no side of the six world powers are supposed to impose new pressures against the Iranian economy.
‘This move of the US administration and the increased anti-Iranian sanctions on the one hand harm Iran’s trust in the West and on the other hand the Iranian concerned officials will definitely respond appropriately to those acts,’ he said.

On the other hand, Iranian deputy foreign minister for Arab-African affairs has felicitated the governments and peoples of Iraq and Syria over their defeating of Daesh terrorist group.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also warned the countries that are violating their obligations under UN Security Council resolution by continuing their financial and oil transactions with Daesh.
‘Be watchful of the repercussions of your actions. Serious fighting against terrorism will benefit all of regional countries,’ he said.
‘Independence and national solidarity of Iraq and Syria are secured by anti-terrorism fights of the armed forces and peoples in both countries.’
The Iranian diplomat also stressed that Tehran will seriously continue its support to the countries threatened by terror threats.
Iran working for regional stability says Rezayee
In another development, Secretary General of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezayee underlined that Iran is looking for putting an end to regional insecurities.
‘Iran is after putting an end to insecurities of the region and we believe that the geographical borders of all countries should be preserved and respected; we are against the division of Muslim countries to several smaller countries,’ Rezayee said, addressing a meeting with managers of the Free Zone Organization and Qeshm city.
He reiterated that Iran supports the world’s oppressed people, but it does not look for war with any country.
‘Iran’s popularity among Muslim nations is only due to the influence emanating from pure Islamic culture,’ Rezayee added.
