Iran, US FMs talk over sanctions extension
By Trend
Tehran has confirmed that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif and his US counterpart, John Kerry, have recently
discussed the US decision to extend the Iran Sanctions Act
(ISA).
The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Bahram Qasemi,
has said that the top diplomats exchanged views about the US Senate
vote on the extension of the ISA, Trend's correspondent
reported.
Zarif gave Kerry the necessary notifications about the Senate
decision, Qasemi told reporters at a press conference in
Tehran.
Qasemi added that Iran continues to monitor the developments
regarding the last year’s nuclear deal as well as the ISA and the
Islamic Republic is prepared to set off the required reaction, if
necessary.
The US Senate passed a 10-year extension of the ISA on December 1.
Following the vote, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani Dec 13 tasked
the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) to plan work on
nuclear propulsion devices to be used in sea transport in response
to the US “violation” of the last year’s nuclear deal.
