Iran Press/Iran news: Hossein-Ali Amiri said on Saturday that Iran's logical strategy in relation to JCPOA has denied any pretext to the signatories of the agreement so that all parties to the deal must normally act upon their commitments.
Highlighting the implementation of the "action versus action" strategy in relation to the JCPOA as an important policy in the international sphere, the Iranian vice president said the country took the first and second steps based on the policy and expressed hope no further step would be needed, Iran Press reported.
"The JCPOA proved that the Iranians are the world leaders in loyalty to their commitments, an issue that today has transformed the status of Iran and the United States in the world," Amiri said.
"The United States is trying to target our economy with outrageous sanctions, but today we are viewed differently in the world," he added, stressing that there was a time when the global consensus was against Iran, but today the leaders of great countries of the world all want to have bilateral ties with Iran, which is indicative of JCPOA's international influence.
On May 8, 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled the US out of The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) reached between Tehran and the world powers - China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom - in 2015.
Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has given plenty of time to other parties remaining in the deal over the past year, but the Europeans failed to honour their commitments.
So on 8 May 2019, the first anniversary of the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal (JCPOA), Iran announced that it was partially discontinuing its obligations under the JCPOA and urged the remaining parties to the nuclear deal – China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom – to shield Tehran from Washington's sanctions.
Tehran says its countermeasures fit within its rights under paragraphs 26 and 36 of the nuclear deal, and that it will reverse the measures once its demands are met. 101/211/215
