RFL/RE – Iran says it has lodged a complaint with the commission responsible for overseeing the implementation of the 2015 nuclear agreement over U.S. sanctions imposed on the country last month.
Parliament speaker Ali Larijani disclosed the complaint on August 1, saying Tehran accused Washington of breaching the accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), between Iran and six world powers, including the United States.
Iran’s complaint came after the U.S. Treasury late last month imposed sanctions on six Iranian firms for their role in developing ballistic missiles after Tehran launched a rocket capable of putting a satellite into orbit.
The U.S. Congress also enacted legislation imposing new sanctions on Iran targeting the missile program, rights abuses, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
“Iran has complained to the commission for the breach of the deal by America,” Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted Larijani as saying.
He was referring to the JCPOA Joint Commission set up by the six world powers, Iran, and the European Union to police possible violations of the nuclear agreement.
If the commission is unable to resolve a dispute, parties may turn to the UN Security Council.
