"Iran is accused of all kinds of offenses and criticized for actions, which, in our view, reflect the attempts of the country to secure its own interests. Instead of having a normal dialogue, the US applies blackmail methods," Ryabkov underlined.

On January 30, Donald Trump asked the Congress to address the flaws in the "terrible Iran nuclear deal." Earlier that month, Trump announced that he would waive sanctions on Iran as required by the JCPOA, but said this would be the last time.
In July 2015, Iran and the P5+1 group of nations — the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany — signed the JCPOA. The agreement stipulates a gradual lifting of sanctions imposed on Iran in exchange for Tehran maintaining the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
