foreign ministry spokesman abbas mousavi addressed the issue of new sanctions expected to be announced by washington later today saying what more does the u.s. have left to sanction that it hasn't already sanctioned in the past 40 years and in so far as the trips by u.s. diplomats and u.s. officials to the region to try to build some kind of operational consensus against iran mr mousavi said that the united states is wasting its time. forming a coalition is nothing new we've seen it before they failed us iran is a powerful country with 15 neighboring countries and we stand tall in the region so forming a coalition against such a country is not an easy thing to do even if u.s. officials come to the region every week and have meetings to try and form a coalition it's not easy to do so in iran has been consistent in saying that it will continue to withdraw from parts of the nuclear deal what more can you tell us about. well the ron's president hustlin rouhani almost 2 months ago decided to begin non-cooperation with the 2015 nuclear deal saying that it was in line with the tenets of the a
