Unlike US Iran complied with nuclear deal: FM

In a twitter message on Friday, Mohammad Javad Zarif reacted to remarks by the US officials, accusing Iran of violating the nuclear deal reached between Tehran and the major world powers, by launching the Simorgh (Phoenix) satellite carrier into the space.

'Rhetoric and actions from the US show bad faith,' Zarif wrote.

'Every word of JCPOA carefully negotiated. Iran does not develop missiles that are 'DESIGNED to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons', Iran top diplomat said.

'Iran is not and will not be developing nuclear weapons; so by definition cannot develop anything DESIGNED to be capable of delivering them,' Zarif added.
