�In this session, it became clear that the US is alone and all countries support the deal and considered US� move incorrect with direct or indirect tones,� he added.

On his meetings with 16 world leaders on the sidelines of the UNGA, the President added, �In these meetings, one of the most important topics was protecting the JCPOA�.
