IRNA – Deputy Chief of Staff of the President for Political Affairs Hamid Aboutalebi said on Friday that if the JCPOA is a multi-lateral commitment, its violation by one of the signatories cannot be reciprocated by violation and unilaterally.

Aboutalebi made the remark in reaction to the US Senate approval of a legislation, which extends the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another ten years.
In a twitter message on Friday, Aboutalebi noted that any violation would be regarded as an act against all those engaged.

He emphasized the fact that the most legitimate and severe way to stand against JCPOA violation, is nothing but a coordinated approach, severe response of those engaged, action based on consensus and isolation of the violators.

The US Senate on Thursday unanimously voted for extension of the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another 10 years.

The US House of Representatives had earlier voted for the ISA extension.
