Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi on Friday criticised the United States for imposing new sanctions on petrochemical producers in the Islamic republic, amid a deadlock in talks aimed at reviving a nuclear deal. The US on Thursday sanctioned a network of Iranian petrochemical firms, as well as alleged front companies in China and the United Arab Emirates, accusing them of helping Tehran to circumvent sanctions.

"On the one hand, they send a message in favour of negotiations and agreement, and on the other hand, they lengthen the list of sanctions.

"The world must give us the right not to trust the United States because they are violating their agreements," Raisi said. The 2015 deal gave Iran relief from sanctions in return for guarantees that it could not develop a nuclear weapon -- something Tehran has always denied wanting to do. The United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 under then president Donald Trump, before imposing waves of biting sanctions on the Islamic republic. On Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said he still believed the nuclear negotiations could succeed and that diplomacy was one of the best ways to revive the accord.
