MNA � FM Javad Zarif has said foreign policy machinery has accelerated implementation of President Rouhani�s directive on proper Iranian response to ISA.
Mr. Zarif who was addressing Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission on Tuesday, told reporters that the directive would provide a basis for the Ministry to act in response to possible violations including US Congress ISA extension; �the letter by President Rouhani specifies actions necessary in AEOI, where Mr. Salehi will address that part of the directive; however, in parts related to Foreign Ministry action, we have sent two letters to Mrs. Mogherini as the responsible figure of JCPOA commission; the first of the letters brought together, on the sidelines of the New York UNGA earlier in October, ministers of all countries parties to the JCPOA,� he told the press.
�A provision in JCPOA allows a mechanism of plenary session whenever a party to the deal acts in contradiction to the deal; in this case as well, such mechanism will go live which is in line with President Rouhani�s directive; on response to sanctions, we believe it violates the spirit of the deal, and we will save our rights to react according to the provisions, including retaliatory measures,� Zarif briefly said.
