New US Sanctions on Iran After Nuclear Deal Seen as 'Provocation'
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The US sanctions imposed on Iran over its missile program will be assessed to see if they contradict Tehran’s nuclear deal with six international negotiators, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American Affairs Majid Takht Ravanchi said Tuesday.

On Sunday, the US Treasury Department sanctioned 11 entities and individuals, including six Iranians and one Chinese citizen, over their involvement in procurement on behalf of Iran’s ballistic missile program. US President Barack Obama said that Washington intended to further sanction Tehran, if Iran continues to implement its ballistic missile program.

"We are watching any US violation of its commitments or its full abidance by them and the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] Supervisory Team is constantly watching and surveying all related issues," Ravanchi said, as quoted by the IRNA news agency.
