Iran blasts US for repeated violation of N. Deal

“The US seizure of Iran’s assets was a blatant theft in violation of the international laws and the spirit of nuclear deal,” Larijani told reporters in Tehran on Wednesday.

He referred to the contents of the nuclear deal, and said the agreement calls on both sides (Iran and the world powers, including the US) to avoid actions that lead to mistrust.

“Of course, this is not the first time that the Americans violate the nuclear deal and many other similar cases can be found,” Larijani said, adding that while Iran has complied with its undertakings all at once, the westerners are moving to take reciprocal measures gradually, which he said is yet another instance of the violation of the deal by Washington.

In relevant remarks last month, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani lashed out at the US for its destructive approach towards implementing the July nuclear agreement, and called on the EU to monitor Washington’s moves.

“The dual-track approach and ambiguous behavior of the US is the main cause of the delay in the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),” Shamkhani said in a meeting with New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Murray McCully in Tehran.

Shamkhani, who is Iran’s top security official and his body has a major say in the nuclear deal, warned that in case the EU fails to adopt effective action to reverse the current trend, the United States’ present course of action will entail negative repercussions for continued cooperation and implementation of reciprocal undertakings under the nuclear agreement.

In March, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lashed out at the US for not remaining loyal to its undertakings based on the July nuclear agreement between Tehran and the world powers.

“The Americans did not act on what they promised in the nuclear accord (the JCPOA); they did not do what they should have done. According to Foreign Minister (Mohammad Javad Zarif), they brought something on the paper but prevented materialization of the objectives of the Islamic Republic of Iran through many diversionary ways,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large group of people in the holy city of Mashhad, Northeastern Iran.

“What a hue and cry did they launch in the case of the missiles: Why Iran has long-ranged missiles? Why they (Iranians) aim and point to the target so precisely? Why they (Iranians) tested and why you (we Iranians) do military exercise?” he added.

“The Americans and one of the regional countries launch wargames every now and then in the Persian Gulf, which is several thousands of kilometers away of their country, while they have no responsibility there. Iran carries out military exercise in its own security boundary and home,” Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
