The U.S. House of Representatives re-authorized last week the Iran Sanctions Act, or ISA, for 10 years. The law was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in Iran's energy industry and deter Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The Iran measure will expire at the end of 2016 if it is not renewed. The House bill must still be passed by the Senate and signed by President Barack Obama to become law.
Iran and world powers concluded the nuclear agreement, also known as JCPOA, last year. It imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear program in return for easing sanctions that have badly hurt its economy.
"The current U.S. government has breached the nuclear deal in many occasions," Khamenei said, addressing a gathering of members of the Revolutionary Guards, according to his website.
"The latest is extension of sanctions for 10 years, that if it happens, would surely be against JCPOA, and the Islamic Republic would definitely react to it."
Instead they'll "get tough." I guess they'll thump their chests, fling poo, and Trump can display his tiny hands. Of course when Tehran freaks out, justly blames America, multiple nations refuse to reinstate sanctions, and Iran's nuclear program goes balls to the wall, right-wingers will blame Obama because ... eeerrrr ... uuuuhhhh ... well ... well, isn't it OBVIOUS! And I'm no fan of Iran's current government but if I was looking at a hostile GOP controlled Congress, President Trump, and seeing a treaty tossed aside as if it were nothing, I'd be cranking up the program while simultaneously calling North Korea to see if they had a couple of spares they'd be willing to sell.
