TEHRAN, Dec. 13 (MNA) – President Rouhani ordered Foreign Minister Javad
Zarif and AEOI Head Salehi to pursue an appropriate response to US violation
of JCPOA.
In the wake of US failure to implement JCPOA and its violation by extension
of Iran Sanctions Act, and based on decisions made by Supreme National
Security Council and JCPOA Supervisory Committee, President Rouhani issued
separate orders to the Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Head of
Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi to follow up legal
procedures of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) known commonly
as Iran nuclear deal.
Considering that US government has hesitated and failed so far to meet its
obligations under JCPOA, and given the recent extension of Iran Sanctions
Act (ISA) announced already as a violation of multilateral act, Rouhani
ordered Foreign Ministry to examine the steps envisaged in JCPOA.
Iranian President urged Zarif to seriously address the violations and to
implement other international legal proceedings using the reports issued by
the Supreme National Security Council and JCPOA Supervisory Committee,
within a month.
In a separate order to the head of AEOI, Rouhani ordered Ali Akbar Salehi to
perform the following missions in developing peaceful nuclear program in the
framework of international obligations of the Islamic Republic of Iran:
1. Planning for the design and development of nuclear propulsion for use in
the field of maritime transportation, in collaboration with scientific and
research centers.
2. Examining and design of “fuel production” for use of nuclear propulsion,
in collaboration with scientific and research centers.
He urged Salehi to offer planning and schedule to achieve the above orders,
within three months.
On December 1, the US Senate voted unanimously for motion to renew Iran
Sanctions Act (ISA) for another decade, reimposing sanctions against Iran
which is against the terms of the JCPOA. Iran had vowed that the passage of
the motion will be absolute violation of the deal and it would take
retliatory measures based on JCPOA.
