"Every word of JCPOA has been carefully negotiated; Iran does not develop missiles that are designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons,” Iran’s top diplomat reacted to remarks by the US officials in a twitter message on Friday.

Pointing to Iran's recent success in launching the Simorgh satellite carrier into the space, US officials accused Iran of violating JCPOA.

"Iran, unlike the US, has complied in good faith with the letter and spirit of the JCPOA, while US rhetoric and measures indicated its bad faith,” the post reads.

He reiterated that Iran is not developing and will not develop any nuclear weapons; so the Islamic Republic technically cannot develop anything capable of delivering them.
