Russia Today - National Security Adviser John Bolton and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scuppered a 2005 nuclear agreement between Iran and the west, and did the same with President Trump, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said.
�Bolton & Netanyahu killed Paris agreement between E3 & Iran in '05 by insisting on zero enrichment,� Zarif tweeted on Tuesday. �Result? Iran increased its enrichment 100 fold by 2012.�

Referring to Bolton and Netanyahu as the �B Team,� Zarif then said that �they�ve lured Donald Trump into killing JCPOA w/the same delusion,� the JCPOA being the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or Iran Nuclear Deal.

Iran stepped up its uranium enrichment beyond the JCPOA-mandated cap of 3.67 percent purification level on Monday, in response to the US� unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA last year, and application of biting economic sanctions on Iran. The step-up in enrichment was also carried out as a response to the JCPOA�s European signatories failure to live up to their trade obligations with Iran under the deal.

Prior to Trump�s withdrawal from the deal, Netanyahu had pressured his American counterpart to abandon the deal, calling it a �historic mistake� and accusing Tehran of cheating on the deal - with the aid of a theatrical slideshow. In the runup to the US withdrawal last year, Bolton, a longtime Iran war-hawk, called the deal a scam and promised regime change in the Islamic Republic by the year�s end.
