Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi, in a post on Twitter on Friday, referred to the recent remarks made by US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook, and found it preposterous that Washington urged Tehran to abide by the nuclear deal after the White House withdrew from the pact under the pretext that it was the worst deal.

Araqchi, in his tweet today, posted a snapshot from Reuters where Hook is being quoted saying that “sanctions give not Iran the right to breach its nuclear commitments”.
