Iran’s nuclear agency said that Tehran’s nuclear program has not been hampered by the deal reached with world powers in July, regime-aligned news agency Tasnim reported on Wednesday.

Atomic Energy of Iran Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi dismissed the notion that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s restrictions had set back the program. To the contrary, he said, the JCPOA created a framework for Iran to cooperate with other countries and learn from their achievements in nuclear technology.
