Iran PressIran News: Saeed Khatibzadeh wrote on Twitter that Pompeo desperately turning to cheap propaganda to dress up the disaster he has promoted and instigated as a success.

The Iranian diplomat emphasized in this message that the important news is that the world has refused to be held hostage to the US bullying.

The United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) two years ago, without regard to UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

In a new legal interpretation, the US claims that according to the provisions of this resolution, it is still one of the participants in the JCPOA; and in this context, the US has the right to use the mechanisms mentioned in this agreement, including the trigger mechanism for the return of sanctions against Iran.
