Tasnim - Iran�s Foreign Ministry has submitted the eighth 3-month report to the parliament on the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers, a spokesperson said.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Wednesday that the quarterly report was submitted to the parliament in compliance with a law obliging the administration to take appropriate retaliatory actions in implementation of the JCPOA.

The report, submitted to the parliament�s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, includes four sections, namely obstacles and challenges of implementing the JCPOA, diplomatic measures to pursue Iran�s demands, latest status of sanctions relief, and most recent developments in the nuclear industry, he added.

According to the spokesman, the report dismisses the US administration�s unilateral and destructive measures regarding the implementation of the nuclear deal, highlighting the international community�s confirmation that Iran has been fully committed to the JCPOA.

Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015, reached a conclusion over the text of the JCPOA.

The accord took effect in January 2016 and was supposed to facilitate Iran�s foreign trade by terminating the nuclear-related sanctions, but the US threats have discouraged major world banks and companies from working with Iran.

According to a law that requires the Iranian administration to safeguard the nation�s achievements and nuclear rights, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has a duty to monitor �the proper implementation� of the JCPOA, and is required to submit a report on the issue to the presiding board of the parliament every six months.
