On Sunday, Tehran University students, in a letter to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, called for a very tough stance against the fresh sanctions imposed by the US against a number of foreign and Iranian individuals and companies, saying the Washington move is a blatant violation of the recent nuclear deal endorsed by Iran and the six world powers.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is not such a country that it can remain silent about the US non-commitment to its pledges and it will not comply with the undertakings it has accepted in the agreements unilaterally and dishonorably, Tehran University Students' Basij said in the letter.
The students underlined that Iran should increase the number of its centrifuges and also increase the volume of its (uranium) enrichment than the present level in a retaliatory move, cautioning that increase or extension of the sanctions only deepens the Iranian nation and officials' lack of trust in the West, while it won't have any benefit for the westerners.

He stressed that Tehran is seriously pursuing the Geneva negotiations with the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany), and we will, of course, show proper, well-assessed, targeted and smart reaction to any improper and unconstructive measure (of the opposite side even if it doesnt violate the Geneva agreement).
Meantime, the foreign minister said the nuclear negotiations are moving on a rough path with many ups and downs before the attainment of the final results, "which is not something unexpected as we had foreseen this since the very first day.
