"Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman accused Washington of acting “illegally” in their efforts to influence the UN Security Council, adding Iran would not be “seeking to exit the 2015 nuclear deal” the US pulled out of in 2018.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Iran’s response would be “proportionate” after the US said last week it was “hopeful” the UN Security Council would extend the arms embargo on Iran before it expires in October.

The Trump administration has taken a harder line against the Islamic Republic after withdrawing from the deal, which relaxed economic sanctions in exchange for Tehran halting its nuclear program in 2018.

“The United States is not a member of the nuclear deal anymore,” Mousavi said. “Iran’s reaction to America’s illegal measures will be firm.”"
