Iran proved progress is possible without US, JCPOA: Minister
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, IRNA - Iran's Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi says the current administrative government that came to office more than a year ago proved the country can advance without waiting for the outcome of talks with the US and other world powers to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA.
Speaking in a gathering on Saturday, Vahidi described the JCPOA as a deal "imposed" on Iran by the United States and added that the administration led by President Ebrahim Raisi has adopted economic policies to enable Iran to live without the deal.
Iran has been under US sanctions since 2018 when the former government in Washington pulled out of the JCPOA and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
Experts say the sanctions on Iran's crude exports have backfired as Iran has sought to diversify its economy away from oil revenues.
