TEHRAN, March 8 - Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran expects other sides of the nuclear deal to abide by their commitments.

Iran calls on nuclear deal sides to abide by commitmentsTEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - He made the remarks after recent report by the IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano that Iran has complied with its commitments to the agreement.

This is the 11th time that the IAEA verifies Iran’s fulfillment of its obligations to the nuclear deal, he said.

The JCPOA was clinched between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany in Vienna in 2015. It lifted nuclear-related sanctions against the Islamic Republic, and, in turn, placed certain restrictions on its nuclear energy program.

However, the United States under President Donald Trump has been trying to either destroy or undermine the agreement in Washington’s favor by calling it “the worst deal ever negotiated.”

The other parties to the deal as well as the UN and the European Union, however, call it a diplomatic victory and a major plank of regional and international peace. They warn Washington that it cannot unilaterally pull out as the deal is a multi-national one.
