The US Senate on Thursday renewed the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another ten-year period, according to IRNA.

'As the President of the Islamic Republic and head of the Supreme National Security Council, I declare here that Iran is not going to stand any violation of the JCPOA by any member states of the P5+1 group of countries,' President Rouhani said on Sunday in Iran's parliament before tabling the new budget deal.

'Any violation is going to meet our appropriate response,' he said.

President Rouhani said that extension of the ISA in the US Senate is against the nuclear deal and is going to violate it.

'We consider signing of the Iran Sanctions Act by the US president as to be against Washington's commitments,' he said.

'The president of the United States is obliged not to sign the measure and use all in his prowess to stop the act,' he said.

President Rouhani also said that the JCPOA is a valid international document that has been ratified by the United Nations Security Council.

'Full and precise implementation of the nuclear deal tends to benefit all the parties involved as well as the global community.'
