US continues to violate nuclear deal, Resolution 2231
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman condemned the new anti-Iranian sanctions imposed by the US, saying that the US claims it's ready to return to JCPOA while it is still violating the deal and Resolution 2231.
"This action is another sign of the US government's malice towards the Iranian people that is in continuation of the failed Maximum Pressure Campaign against Iran," Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement on Thursday in reaction to newly imposed sanctions by Washington on several Iranian entities who allegedly are involved in developing Iran's missile program.
"It clearly proves the fact that the current US administration, contrary to its claims, uses every opportunity to make baseless accusations and put pressure on the Iranian people," he added.
