伊朗有宣布的周五早些时候，美国在伊拉克发动了有针对性的袭击，杀害了圣城部队指挥官卡西姆·苏莱曼尼，此后，以色列将完全退出通常被称为伊朗核协议的《联合全面行动计划》。
“从现在开始，伊朗将不再承诺对铀浓缩、核燃料储备以及核研究和发展水平进行任何限制，”伊朗当地的《英语日报》德黑兰时报报道援引政府公告。
伊朗外交部长贾瓦德扎里夫(Javad Zarif)随后在推特上发布了伊朗终止协议承诺的决定，称其他签署方应对此负责。
扎里夫写道:“作为联合行动计划第36段下的第五步也是最后一步补救措施，离心机的数量将不再有任何限制。”。“这一步在JCPOA的范围内&所有5个步骤在有效履行互惠义务时都是可逆的，”他补充道。

尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统在2018年5月退出了具有里程碑意义的核条约，但欧盟、德国、法国、英国、俄罗斯和中国仍试图维持这一国际协议。该协议为伊朗提供了制裁减免和投资，以换取遏制其核计划。
来自联合国核监督机构的一致报告发现，德黑兰仍然遵守《联合行动纲领》的条款，但特朗普长期以来一直对该协定持批评态度，称其鼓励伊朗在整个地区采取违背美国利益的行动。尽管美国再次实施制裁，伊朗在2019年5月之前一直致力于该条约，并与国际领导人谈判维护该协议。然而，在美国撤军一年后，该公司去年开始采取措施，无视该交易的一些条款。
索莱马尼被杀后，伊朗决定完全退出该条约。该国领导人长期以来一直批评国际社会，特别是欧洲国家，未能向美国施加足够的压力，迫使其重返协议。
据伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社(IRNA)报道，伊朗外交部发言人阿巴斯·穆萨维在正式决定前表示:“在政治领域，一切都相互影响。”。他还批评了欧洲对索莱马尼被杀的反应。
他说:“欧洲人的立场过去和现在都不符合伊朗，但他们的立场与美国的立场相对相似。他们最近的立场在某种程度上很粗鲁，没有建设性和可接受性。”。
国际废除核武器运动执行主任比阿特丽斯·菲恩告诉记者新闻周刊伊朗和美国应该重返条约，以避免潜在的毁灭性冲突。
“由于美国越来越鲁莽的行为，伊朗明显违背了其在伊朗协议下的承诺，这表明了将世界范围内的大规模杀伤性武器托付给各国的危险。这种升级螺旋可能会带来灾难性的人道主义后果，”菲恩说。
她补充说，“是时候打破僵局了，两国必须让[重返]伊朗协议的全面实施。”
伊朗目前没有核武器，分析人士认为，该国至少需要一年时间来发展核武器。德黑兰领导人一再表示，他们不寻求制造这种武器，而是希望将核技术用于和平目的。然而，美国一直指责伊朗发展其军事能力核计划。
伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿亚图拉·哈梅内伊的高级军事顾问侯赛因·德汉将军，周日告诉美国有线电视新闻网早上，他的国家计划报复杀害索莱马尼的美国军事目标。
“肯定会有军事和针对军事地点的回应，”他说。
“是美国发动了这场战争。因此，他们应该接受对自己行为的适当反应，”德汉争辩道。
但是地缘政治未来的创始人和总裁乔治·弗里德曼(George Friedman)对伊朗是否会在未来几天对美国发动成功的攻击表示怀疑。
“他们情报和特种作战部队的负责人已经死了，需要时间进行重组。圣城的行为通常非常平静，但这种报复需要公开——一座建筑、一群人或什么的，”弗里德曼说。“它的本质是，它不会在你期望的时候出现，也不会在你认为它会出现的地方出现。”
法宝警告伊朗在周六的推特上，他威胁说如果有任何军事回应，他的政府将会有52个网站作为攻击目标。
“美国刚刚在军事装备上花费了两万亿美元，”总统在随后的推特上说。“我们是世界上最大也是最棒的！如果伊朗袭击美国基地，或者任何美国人，我们将会向他们发送一些全新的漂亮设备...毫不犹豫地！”

IRAN FULLY WITHDRAWS FROM NUCLEAR DEAL AND CRITICIZES EUROPEAN RESPONSE TO SOLEIMANI'S KILLING
Iran has announced that it will fully withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, following the U.S. targeted strike that killed the country's Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq early Friday.
"From now on Iran will no longer commit to any limits on the level of uranium enrichment, stockpile of nuclear fuel and also nuclear research and development," Iran's local English daily The Tehran Times reported Sunday, citing a government announcement.
Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif later tweeted about his country's decision to end its commitments under the deal, arguing that other signatories were to blame.
"As 5th & final REMEDIAL step under paragraph 36 of JCPOA, there will no longer be any restriction on number of centrifuges," Zarif wrote. "This step is within JCPOA & all 5 steps are reversible upon EFFECTIVE implementation of reciprocal obligations," he added.

Although President Donald Trump walked away from the landmark nuclear treaty in May 2018, the European Union, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and China attempted to keep the international agreement alive. The deal offered Iran sanctions relief and investment in exchange for curbing its nuclear program.
Consistent reports from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog had found that Tehran remained in compliance with the JCPOA's terms, but Trump had long been critical of the agreement, arguing that it emboldened Iran to act against American interests throughout the region. Iran remained committed to the pact until May 2019, despite the reimplementation of American sanctions, as it negotiated with international leaders to preserve the agreement. However, it began taking steps to disregard some of the deal's terms last year, one year after the U.S. withdrawal.
In the wake of the killing of Soleimani, Iran decided to fully withdraw from the pact. The country's leaders had long criticized the international community, particular European nations, for failing to adequately pressure the U.S. to return to the deal.
"In the world of politics, all things affect each other," Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi said ahead of the formal decision, Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported. He also criticized the European response to the killing of Soleimani.
"The Europeans' stances have not been and are not in line with Iran, but they have stances relatively similar to those of the U.S. Their recent stances have been rude to some extent and have not been constructive and acceptable," he said.
Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, told Newsweek that Iran and the U.S. should return to the treaty to avoid a potentially devastating clash.
"Iran's significant walk back of its commitments under the Iran deal, triggered by increasingly reckless U.S. behavior, demonstrates the danger in entrusting countries with world-ending weapons of mass destruction. This escalation spiral could have catastrophic humanitarian consequences," Fihn said.
"It's past time to pump the breaks," she added, "both states must return [to] the full implementation of the Iran deal."
Iran does not currently have nuclear weapons and analysts believe that it would take country at least a year to develop one. Leaders in Tehran have repeatedly said that they do not seek to create such a weapon, and want to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. However, the U.S. has consistently accused Iran of developing its nuclear program for military capabilities.
General Hossein Dehghan, a top military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ayatollah Khamenei, told CNN on Sunday morning that his country planned to retaliate against the U.S. military targets for the killing of Soleimani.
"The response for sure will be military and against military sites," he said.
"It was America that has started the war. Therefore, they should accept appropriate reactions to their actions," Dehghan argued.
But George Friedman, the founder and president of Geopolitical Futures, expressed skepticism that Iran would launch a successful attack against the U.S. in the coming days.
"The head of their intelligence and special ops unit is dead and it will take time to reorganize. Al Quds normally acts very quietly but this retaliation needs to be public–a building, a crowd or something," Friedman said. "Its nature is that it does not come when you expect it, and doesn't come where you think it will."
Trump warned Iran in a Saturday Twitter thread not to retaliate for the U.S. strike, threatening that his administration had a list of 52 sites that would be targeted if there was any military response.
"The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment," the president said in a follow-up tweet. "We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
