The statement followed repeated threats from Washington to quit the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, between Iran and the P5+1 (the US, Russia, Britain, France, China, plus Germany). Under the deal, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions.
