TEHRAN- Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson has emphasized the ineffectiveness of threats and sanctions against Tehran and urged Britain
and France to pressure the U.S
into making the required moves to revive the 2015 agreement rather than supporting the party who is accountable for the deal's precarious
sanctions against Iran's oil shipments, asserting that they demonstrate Washington's "pseudo-sympathy" for those who have just suffered from
flash floods around the country
Treasury and State departments placed sanctions on three Hong Kong-based trade firms, one company from the United Arab Emirates, and two
shipping companies, one in Singapore and the other in Qingdao, China.The U.S

leverage ever since negotiations to bring the U.S
back into the JCPOA began last year in Vienna, Austria.Tehran, however, is adamant that before it reverses the remedial measures it has
implemented in reaction to the U.S
