Iran determined to maintain commitment to nuclear deal
(Baonghean.vn) - On January 13, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the country will only implement the obligations stipulated in the nuclear agreement signed between Tehran and world powers in 2015, in the context of the US's efforts to change the terms of this historic nuclear treaty.

Iran's Foreign Ministry said US President Donald Trump must once again ease nuclear sanctions against Tehran.
“Internal unity and international support for the agreement have prevented attempts by President Trump, the Zionist regime (of Israel), as well as the fearsome coalition of warmongers to abolish or change this document,” the ministry stressed.
In the announcement, Iran's Foreign Ministry also affirmed that it will respond to US sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic's court system.
The remarks came a day after President Trump stressed that he would not re-impose key economic sanctions on Iran for another 120 days, declaring “this is the last time” he will do so.
At the same time, the US Treasury Department also decided to impose new sanctions on 14 Iranian individuals and entities, including Justice Minister Sadeq Larijani./.
