Speaking in the first meeting of Iran’s Special Board Monitoring JCPOA Implementation on Wednesday, he noted that execution of the US congress bill for extension of Iran's sanctions for another decade violates the JCPOA.
Iran has adopted required measures to give due response to US actions, the President added.
In the meantime, Iran’s Special Board Monitoring JCPOA Implementation members called the US congress bill for extension of Iran's sanctions a breach of US obligations enshrined in the JCPOA and approved reciprocal measures against the potential violation of the nuclear deal.
The board will also hold another meeting next week to pursue the case.
Iranian president, parliament speaker, foreign minister, defense minister, secretary of Iranian Supreme National Security Council, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran as well as leader advisor and representative are members of the Special Board Monitoring the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
The US Senate has passed a 10-year extension of existing sanctions against Iran, sending the measure to the White House for President Barack Obama to sign into law.
Senators on last Thursday unanimously backed the renewal of the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) by a vote of 99 to 0.
The House of Representatives voted 419 to 1 last month to reauthorize ISA, which was first introduced in 1996 to punish investments in Iran's energy industry based on accusations that Tehran was pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
The Obama administration has expressed reservations about the utility of the legislation, but congressional aides said they expected Obama would sign it when it reached his desk. The act is set to expire at the end of 2016.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the United States, Britain, Russia, China, France as well as Germany – reached a landmark nuclear agreement last year, under which Tehran agreed to limit some aspects of its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions.
The two sides began implementing the deal, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), on January 16. However, members of Congress said they wanted ISA to be extended for another decade to send a strong signal that any US president would have the ability to “snap back” sanctions on Iran.
