Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran is complaining to the UN Security Council over sanctions imposed by the United States in July, claiming they breach the 2015 deal to limit the country’s nuclear capability, according to Reuters.
The deal, signed by Iran and six powers including the United States, led to the lifting of most sanctions against Tehran in return for curbs on its nuclear program.
“Iran’s JCPOA supervisory body assessed the new US sanctions (on Tehran) and decided that they contradict parts of the nuclear deal,” speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani was quoted by the Tasnim news agency as saying, Reuters reports.
“Iran has complained to the UN Security Council for the breach of the JCPOA by America,” he added.
