US has failed to honor its JCPOA commitments: Velayati



A senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei saysthe US has failed to carry out its obligations under Irans nuclear deal with the group of world powers.

The Americans have failed to fulfill their obligations, which were the removal of the [anti-Iran] sanctions and their effects, freedom of trade and scientific, technological, and business ties between Iran and Western countries, said Ali Akbar Velayation Saturday.

He stressed that the US was supposed to meet all these obligations after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed Irans compliance with the nuclear deal.

On February 26, the IAEA released its first regular report since the implementation of the JCPOA that verified Irans commitment to the nuclear agreement.

He further noted that the USs failure to abide by its commitments has resulted in a rise in pessimism towards Washington in Iran and other regional countries.

Velayati also censured the other members of theP5+1 group of countries for their silence over the breach of agreement by the US. We have to demand the reason for their silence on the Americans' oath-breaking."
