Extension of Iran Sanctions violate JCPOA

Tehran has slammed a US Senate vote to extend the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another decade as a violation of the landmark nuclear deal reached between Iran and P5+1 group last year.

On Friday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the 10-year extension of the sanctions law, which authorizes the US president to impose bans on Iran, is against the nuclear accord that Tehran struck with the US and five other world powers — Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany — in July 2015.
