Iran Press/ Europe: Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Friday said that despite the efforts and insistence of the international community, the United States has continued to violate Iran's nuclear deal.
Speaking at a press conference at the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova said: "The United States continues to violate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), despite Security Council Resolution 2231."
"The US is also violating the provisions of the UN Security Council resolution, which are legally binding on the country," She added.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman referred to the US' refusal to ratify the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons as another example of an international breach of the treaty, but the US accused Russia of the demise of the treaty.

"The US failed to fulfill its commitments under the START II treaty and has not committed to the reduction and limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms," she added.
Maria Zakharova also noted the expansion of US biological laboratories around the world, adding that these laboratories are not part of US military laboratories.
"The United States is expanding its biological laboratories in other countries covertly, especially in the former Soviet Republics, and Russia is closely monitoring the activities of these dual-purpose laboratories," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman said.
US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018, with the sanctions against Iran resuming. The move has been slammed by the American and international communities.
The European Union and the European Troika (Germany, Britain, and France) have pledged to maintain the deal after the United States illegally withdrew from it, but so far they have not succeeded in the practical steps they had promised to maintain it.
