A senior Iranian official has delivered to Newsweek the Islamic Republic's response to Secretary of State Antony Blinken's first official remarks on President Joe Biden's approach to tensions between Tehran and Washington rooted in the latter's exit under the previous administration from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the multilateral nuclear deal with Iran.
While Biden promised in the past to restore U.S. adherence to the agreement reached by former President Barack Obama alongside other nations in 2015 and unilaterally abandoned by former President Donald Trump in 2018, Blinken told reporters Wednesday that the new administration was "a long ways" from returning to the pact.
In a statement sent to Newsweek, Iranian permanent mission to the United Nations spokesperson Alireza Miryousefi noted that the U.S. had not only broken commitments to the nuclear deal, but also to United Nations Security Council resolution 2231 that supported it.
"The current U.S. Administration, as its predecessor, is in violation of its commitments based on JCPOA and UNSC resolution 2231," Miryousefi said.

He referenced recent statements by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and permanent representative to the U.N. Majid Takht-Ravanchi, who both urged the Biden administration to reverse course ahead of Blinken's comments.
"As FM Zarif and Amb. Ravanchi reiterated in their recent op-ed, we have always maintained that the U.S., as the party that violated not just the JCPOA but also UNSCR 2231—in violation of international law—should comply with both and lift the sanctions it has imposed," .coninue at newsweek times today
