Tehran, June 12, IRNA - Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said here on Sunday that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has been reached thanks to the guidelines of the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and people's resistance and prayers.

Zarif reiterated that the anti-Iran sanctions would have been increased, if the JCPOA had not been reached.

He added that almost each month or year a new sanction was imposed against Tehran over the past years.

'If anti-Iran sanctions had continued, Iran's oil sale would have been reached less than 200,000 bpd and later close to zero ,' he said.
