nuclear agreement signed between Tehran and the 5+1 group of countries,” said 
Salehi on Tuesday, during an interview with Al Mayadeen Arabic satellite 
television channel.
He described Iran’s retaliation certain and imminent against US violation of 
JCPOA, saying "Iran would definitely give a proportionate response to the 
hostile move.”
Following the approval of JCPOA by the European Union, China, Russia and the 
world governments, US withdrawal from the deal will never affect its 
implementation, he noted.
The US must be held accountable for its violations of the JCPOA, Dr. Salehi 
reiterated; "Iran has no responsibility for Americans’ negligence because the 
International Atomic Energy Agency has reported seven times that Iran has always 
adhered to its commitments and promises.”
He stressed that JCPOA is a historic agreement, the results of which will be 
revealed over time.
Salehi also argued that the news about a dispute over the disagreements and 
differences over JCPOA inside Iran and among Iranian officials is only a 
political issue, and no more; nuclear activities are ongoing, enriching uranium, 
producing heavy water and the extraction of uranium mines are uninterrupted and 
new reactors are continuously designed in Arak facilities, in cooperation with 
China.
"Iran's ties with Russia are growing every day; the two countries have joint 
projects, including the establishment of two large new nuclear power plants in 
Bushehr, and Tehran-Moscow relations are long-standing, deep and broadened in 
the field of atomic energy,” he noted.
Salehi, rejecting Israeli regime’s claims over Iran’s nuclear program for 
military purposes, said it is forbidden to use chemical and biological weapons 
in Iran, as it is mentioned in the fatwa of the Leader of Islamic Revolution, as 
well.
