(MENAFN) According to Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's remark on Tehran's right to uranium enrichment is inadmissible.
Qassemi state that the newly appointed Secretary of State doesn't know about the realities and international developments, Sputnik reported.
In an interview with Voice of America, on May 25, Pompeo said, it is not "appropriate for Iran to have the capacity to create fissile material, to enrich uranium or have a plutonium factory."
Since US President Donald Trump's May 8 decision to quit the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or the Iran nuclear deal which limited the country's uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief, other signatories of the deal - the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany- have had a tough task on their hands to preserve it .
