TEHRAN – Tehran’s interim Friday prayers leader has blasted the U.S. Senate for extending sanctions against Iran for another 10 years, saying now it is Tehran’s turn to reciprocate, Fars reported.

Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani said, “Nothing but hostility is expected from America, but as said before, now it's time for retaliation.”

“As the Supreme Leader has said, if the law which extends sanctions against Iran for another 10 years is approved, it will certainly and undoubtedly violate the nuclear deal.”
