RNA - "We are currently working on a list of violations and infringements by the US from the nuclear agreements," Takht Ravanchi told reporters on Monday.

He said that since the day Tehran and the six world powers (the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, France and Germany) reached an agreement, the Iranian Board of JCPOA has precisely monitored to what extent the parties to JCPOA honored their commitments.

In relevant remarks in mid-August, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif underlined that a Joint Commission would hold a session soon to discuss the US disloyalty to the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

"We will have another session of the Joint Commission to discuss the US violation of commitments and some other issues in the near future," Zarif told reporters.

The Iranian foreign minister noted that the commission has convened whenever deemed necessary, and said, "Necessary solutions to problems have always been worked out during the meetings."

Earlier in August, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and senior negotiator Seyed Abbas Araqchi warned the US and other world powers against breaching the contents of the nuclear deal signed with Tehran last year.

"There are still some laggings, negligence and disloyalty by the other side and we confront them very strongly and remind the other side of its responsibilities," Araqchi said after meeting the Iranian legislators in Tehran.

Stressing that Iran will pursue and act against any shortcomings and lagging of the world powers in implementing the nuclear deal, he said that if needed, the legal procedures stated in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the nuclear deal) will be paved (in case of facing the other sides' violation of the agreement).
