Leader rebukes US for extension of sanctions violating JCPOA
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution has said that the US measure to extend the sanctions against Iran for another ten-year period is an absolute violation of the July 2015 nuclear deal according to which US has undertaken not to enforce fresh sanctions.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in reaction to approval of the US House of Representatives to extend Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for the next ten years.
ISA was first adopted in 1996 to penalize US companies making investment in Iranian energy industry.
The Supreme Leader made the remarks on Wednesday morning during his meeting with a group of Basij (volunteer forces).
The visit occurred on the occasion of Basij Week that will start November 25.
If approved, these sanctions will definitely be a violation of the nuclear deal and they (the US officials) should know that Iran will react to the measure, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Basij is the force of Revolution and if there is a polarization, it is the bipolar of revolutionary and anti-revolutionary, the Supreme Leader said, noting that even non-revolutionaries can join Basij.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that Basij is the symbol of religious democracy and if it enters the areas of resistance economy and science, they will become democratic too.
The Supreme Leader advised the other sectors of the governing system to take patterns from organization of Basij.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the enemy is seeking to create obstacles to the model of Basij way of handling the security and executive affairs.
The Supreme Leader cautioned against any attempt by the ill-wishers to infiltrate into organization of Basij or make rivals to Basij.
The Supreme Leader reiterated that Basij is not a rival to the executive body, rather it can serve as a complementary and promising source for the executive body in practical areas.
