Iran’s president said Wednesday for the first time that his government will stop complying with parts of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal after the White House sent a Navy carrier task force to the region and moved to put a stranglehold on the country’s oil sales, ringing alarms around the globe as tensions ratcheted up.
The accord, negotiated under the Obama administration, sought to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions in return for relief from sanctions. It was approved by the United Nations Security Council, and U.N. monitors repeatedly said that Iran was honoring its part of the deal. U.S. analysts described Iran’s announcement as a warning shot to demonstrate that it has options it can use to counter Washington’s punishment.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, in Moscow, accused the Europeans of bowing to U.S. pressure to cut off oil sales, the main source of Iran’s foreign currency.
