Blinken: Leaving the JCPOA  was a big mistakeUS Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Tuesday evening that the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran was a big mistake.

We still believe that diplomacy is the best way to solve the Iranian nuclear challenge.

The US Secretary of State said:
The opportunity for Iran to return to its commitments in the nuclear deal will not remain endless.

The US Secretary of State added:
We hope that Russia will not take more hostile actions against Ukraine.
