Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rebuked a bipartisan group of US lawmakers for demanding a “comprehensive deal” with Iran covering regional issues and the Islamic Republic’s missile program, reminding them that the 2015 nuclear deal is already comprehensive, but breached by the US.
In a tweet late Tuesday, the top Iranian diplomat stressed that Tehran is the only party which implemented the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
#JCPOA IS the comprehensive plan concluded by E3+3 (incl US) & Iran. The “C” stands for COMPREHENSIVE.
It has been implemented only by Iran.
Instead of posturing, US & E3 must finally live up to their commitments made, but never fulfilled.#CommitActMeet
Iran will reciprocate

In a move praised by the pro-Zionist lobby AIPAC, the US House members have called on Biden administration to pursue a ‘comprehensive’ approach to address Tehran’s regional activities and ballistic missile program beyond the JCPOA.
Iran has already made it clear that the nuclear accord, from which the previous US administration withdrew in 2018, would by no means be renegotiated.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian president maintain that the only way for the US to rejoin the 2015 nuclear agreement is to lift the sanctions against Tehran fully and verifiably.
