With the IAEA convening a special meeting called by the U.S. on Iran’s nuclear activity, Foreign Minister Zarif contended that there was “irony” to the session considering that “a) the U.S. abhors the JCPOA, axed and violates it, and punishes all who observe it; b) the U.S. has no standing to raise JCPOA issues; c) Iran fully complied with JCPOA per 15 IAEA reports; d) Iran's actions are lawful under paragraph 36 of the accord”.
