Iran has called for a joint meeting with the six world powers to discuss the recent US extension of Iran Sanctions Act, which Tehran said were a violation of the nuclear agreement, Xinhua news agency reported. Iran and the six world powers reached an agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue on 14 July in 2015 which puts Tehran on the path of sanctions relief but more strict limits on its nuclear programme.
The earlier vote by the US House of Representatives to extend the ISA was endorsed by the Senate last week. The White House said the bill renewing the ISA was becoming law without President Barack Obama's signature. An extension of the bill "is entirely consistent with" the US commitments in the Iran nuclear deal, it said. The ISA was first adopted in 1996 to sanction Iran over its controversial nuclear programme.
