Tehran has responded to the latest US sanctions over Iran’s alleged human rights abuses and ballistic missile program.

“The hostile and illegitimate actions of Trump’s regime to include Larijani in the sanctions list… have crossed all red lines for behavior in the international community and represent a violation of international law and both bilateral and international US commitments, to which Iran will respond with a serious answer,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, noting that Washington’s decision only demonstrated the ongoing American hostility toward Iranians.

The ministry has once again reiterated the country’s position on the issue, opposing the US move concerning the Iran nuclear deal, as reported by Sputnik International.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran stresses clearly that it will take no measures beyond its commitments under the JCPOA and will accept no changes to this agreement now or in the future and will not allow that the JCPOA be linked to any other issue [than the nuclear issue],” the statement read.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry, sending a strong message to the US, has named those, whom they consider to be behind the attempt to undermine the deal, which took years and great diplomatic efforts to reach.

“The internal solidity of and international support for the agreement have blocked attempts by Mr. Trump, the Zionist regime [of Israel], and the ominous alliance of hard-line warmongers to terminate this agreement or make changes to it,” the ministry said.
