The State Duma condemned the US intention to return sanctions against Iran

Statement of the US State Department on the return of sanctions against Iran beyond all norms of international law. According to the correspondent of the news agency on August 20, this was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky (LDPR). It turns out that the United States intends to resume anti-Iranian restrictions in a notification order, which the UN Security Council voted against last Friday? In addition, there are threats of extraterritorial sanctions against Russia and China for refusing to follow the decisions imposed by Washington, Slutsky said. The United States has lost the right to discuss the implementation of the JCPOA by Iran, the parliamentarian is sure. A brazen, cynical and aggressive policy to promote American hegemony should finally receive a decent rebuff from all other participants in the JCPOA, including European partners. It is unacceptable when one country unilaterally withdraws from international agreements approved by the UN Security Council resolution, and then tries to dictate with the help of a sanctions club. The United States scrapped Iran's nuclear deal, spitting on years of diplomatic efforts and openly provoking Iran. Now they have lost every right to discuss the implementation of the JCPOA by Tehran, Slutsky said.
