Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

President Hassan Rouhani warned yesterday that Iran could abandon its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers within hours if the United States keeps on imposing new sanctions.

In a speech to parliament, he also hit out at U.S. counterpart Donald Trump saying that he had shown the world that Washington was "not a good partner."

Iran's parliament voted on Aug. 13 to allocate $520 million to develop its missile programme to fight Washington's "adventurism" and sanctions, and to boost the foreign operations of the country's Revolutionary Guards.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who was sworn-in for a second term on Saturday, has accused the United States of trying to undermine Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers, telling President Donald Trump that it will be his political suicide.

Moscow and Tehran have agreed to strengthen military and technological cooperation as the Russian Deputy PM visited Iran following the latest round of US sanctions.

Iran has complained to the U.N. Security Council about sanctions the United States imposed on Iran in July, saying they breached Tehran's nuclear deal with major powers, the speaker of parliament was quoted on Tuesday as saying, Reuters writes.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will speak at the Ancient Civilizations Forum starting in Athens on Monday at 13:00′ at Zappion.

Earlier, Tsipras met with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. It has been agreed that in his visit to Beijing in May, the Greek Prime Minister will sign a three-year agreement action plan to bring Chinese investments to Greece.

Iranian and U.S. officials have engaged in a fresh war of words over a nuclear deal that aimed to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on April 20 criticized "worn-out" U.S. accusations a day after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson accused Iran of "alarming ongoing provocations" to destabilize countries in the Middle East.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declared that the United States will no longer exercise “strategic patience” with Iran, and criticized the Iran nuclear deal reached under President Obama as one that simply tries to buy off Iran and leave the consequences for later generations.

U.S. President Donald Trump has directed the National Security Council to review the international agreement on Iran's nuclear program and evaluate whether suspending sanctions "is vital to the national security interests of the United States."

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson revealed the review in a letter Tuesday to House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Donald Trump's election as the new President of the United States has put many international deals at risk. Previously agreed multilateral agreements are being revised, and bilateral relations between countries are facing new challenges. Many perceive the approach of the new American president as one of the main factors of instability in international relations.
