Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a recent post on Twitter called on the US to live up to its JCPOA commitments.
“No amount of reported 'imposed' negative spin can hide fact that US admitted Iran’s adherence to the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) – onus on US to live up to its part,” tweeted Zarif on his official account on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Zarif brushed off US President Donald Trump’s remarks that Washington may not remain in the nuclear deal.
“Do not pay much attention to Trump’s words,” said Zarif after addressing a cabinet session.
Last week, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Iran is sticking to the terms of the JCPOA. However, he accused Iran of supporting terrorism and questioned whether sanctions should keep being lifted.
Zarif has recently denounced the US claims against Iran as "worn-out accusations" that cannot mask Washington's "admission of Iran's compliance" with the nuclear agreement.
Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia -- plus Germany signed the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.
