Iran's permanent envoy to the UN described the US claim of remaining as a party of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) not only ridiculous but also a false claim.

Iran Press/America: In a tweet released on Thursday, Iran's ambassador to the UN Majid Takhtravanchi referred to the US unilateral withdrawal  from the JCPOA in 2018, saying: "US Secretary Mike Pompeo  pulls the final plug, imposing penalties for compliance even with nuclear provisions of 2231."

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote in two separate Twitter messages on Thursday morning that the United States would cancel the waivers related to the JCPOA and sanction two Iranians in connection with the nuclear program of Iran.

Two yrs ago @realDonaldTrump ceased participation in #JCPOA. Now, in further violation of JCPOA & UNSCR 2231 @SecPompeo pulls final plug, imposing penalties for compliance EVEN w/nuclear provisions of 2231.Claiming US is STILL “Participant” is not just preposterous; it’s FALSE.
