LONDON (Reuters) - Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday that United States cannot seek to negotiate a new treaty with Tehran while it has violated its treaty obligations by withdrawing from a 2015 nuclear deal.

"U.S. calls JCPOA (the nuclear deal) a personal agreement between two governments, claiming it seeks a treaty. Wrong." Zarif tweeted. "U.S. has violated its treaty obligations too... Apparently, U.S. only mocks calls for peace."
