Washington said it hoped for an extension of the embargo on Iran’s nuclear programme, which would expire in October this year.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Musawi said on Monday that Iran considers the United States’ efforts to extend the UNSC arms embargo on Tehran illegal.
“Iran is not seeking to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with the six powers. America’s current attempts are illegal, and our response will be proportional”, – Musawi said. – “The United States is no longer a party to the nuclear deal. Iran’s response to America’s illegal measures will be tough.”
Recall that the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCAP) embargo on Iran’s nuclear programme expires in October this year. Washington said on Thursday that it hopes to extend the embargo until then.
