Iran Press/ Iran news: Speaking at his regular press briefing in Tehran on Monday, the Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that when John Kerry signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015, he did so as the US secretary of state and the official representative of the American government.
Mousavi pointedly added: "All American administrations must recognize this important point. International agreements are signed between states and not individuals. The concept of a 'Trump agreement' or an 'Obama agreement' is not helpful at all, it is meaningless, and we do not recognize any such thing as a 'Trump agreement' or an 'Obama agreement'.
"We advise all parties to stick to the agreement that we have, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and try to preserve the current agreement," Mousavi added.

We have issued visas for all technical teams from various countries who have come to Iran to observe or take part in the technical investigation of this air disaster. We have made it clear to the Canadian government that we do not recognize dual nationality and all Iranians who lived in Canada and lost their lives in this tragic incident are considered Iranian nationals and Iranian citizens."
