Tehran: Iran said on Wednesday it had stopped respecting limits on its nuclear activities agreed under a 2015 deal with major powers until they find a way to bypass renewed US sanctions. It said it was responding to the unilateral sanctions that the US has reimposed since it quit the agreement one year ago.

Iran said it would stop implementing some of the restrictions immediately. It said it would abandon more if the remaining parties to the agreement – Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia – failed to start delivering on their commitments to sanctions relief within 60 days.
