Iran Set to Counter U.S. Nuclear Deal Withdrawal

TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Iranian parliament speaker Ali Larijani on Tuesday said that the country has devised plans to maintain and increase the level of foreign investment after the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
"Given the fact that the Americans have acted against the moral codes and international rules and undertakings and withdrawn from the nuclear deal officially, this move has somehow affected investment in Iran and we have adopted certain measures in this regard and some negotiations are underway," Larijani told reporters.
He added that Iranian experts should work out a more precise framework based on the U.S. behavior in coming months.
On Monday, Iranian government spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobkaht also had announced  plans to resist against the U.S. sanctions after its withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
"We have adopted proper measures to defuse or decrease impacts of these sanctions," Nobakht told reporters on the sidelines of the 51st meeting of the headquarters for economy of resistance.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that Washington would pull out of Iran nuclear deal and reinstate nuclear sanctions on Iran.

This is while most world powers, including Russia, China, and the European Union have repeatedly stressed that keeping the deal is in the interest of world peace and security.
