Ex-Secretary of State calls for other signatories to stick to JCPOA

'I strongly hope that the other six signatories will prove to the world what responsible behavior is, and adhere to this agreement — no matter what false accusations and contrived provocations are put forward by President Trump,' The American Political Journalism Newspaper quoted John Kerry as saying recently.

'Our allies and our Congress must not act as the only adults left in the room with the power to protect our national interests. I served in the Senate for nearly 28-plus years. I can't imagine a more important moment than this one where cooler, wiser voices have had a bigger responsibility to put a policy back on track.'

'That means rejecting the President's plan and the legislative maneuvers being contemplated that would unravel the agreement once and for all, leaving our allies to blame the United States, squandering our leadership and our leverage.'

Despite not departing from the deal, Democrats and European allies have condemned Trump's announcement, the Hill reported.

US President Donald Trump on Friday took a new strategy towards Iran and did not certify Tehran's commitment with the 2015 landmark nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Trump's approach has been criticized by many countries, international bodies, political communities and world media.
