US will regret leaving JCPOA: Zarif
20 Apr 2018 - 11:00
"Tehran has a variety of options in store that will make the United States regret leaving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal," Iranian Foreign Minister said.
"Iran has a wide range of options both inside and outside of the JCPOA and surely, the reaction from Iran and the international community will be unpleasant for the Americans," Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters upon arrival in New York City to attend a United Nations General Assembly meeting over sustaining peace.
Under the deal, which entered into force in January 2016 when former US President Barack Obama was still in office, Iran agreed to limit parts of its peaceful nuclear program in exchange for removal of all nuclear-related sanctions.
The Iranian FM said the US government, specially the administration of President Donald Trump, has failed to stay true to its commitments and said it was up to the European signatories of the deal to preserve it and force Washington into keeping up its obligations.
