2018-12-20
[PRESSTV] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the US has no longer any influence on relations between countries in the region, stressing Washington will no longer be able to dictate its policies to regional states.

"Our neighbors ... have explicitly told the US that the era of dictating policies to others is over and the US cannot decide for the region and relations between regional nations and countries from thousands of kilometers away," Rouhani told news hounds at Mehrabad International Airport on Wednesday before leaving for Ankara for an official two-day visit at the invitation of his Ottoman Turkish counterpart Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

announced that he would abandon the Iran nuclear deal, reached between Tehran and six world powers ‐ the US, the UK, La Belle France, Russia, China and Germany in 2015. He also announced that he would reinstate the sanctions against Iran that were lifted as part of the agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to limit parts of its peaceful nuclear program in exchange for the removal of all nuclear-related sanctions.

In August, Trump ordered all nuclear-related sanctions that were removed under the deal to be reinstated immediately.

Ottoman Turkish officials, including President Erdogan, have criticized the US for re-imposing its unilateral sanctions against Iran, stressing Ankara’s determination to keep economic ties with Tehran.
