Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani underlined that Washington's unilateral moves against the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries have displeased all parties to the internationally-endorsed agreement.

"We held some talks on Iran's nuclear issue and the US troublesome measures; the measures which have angered everyone as they deny all actions taken by all the countries (Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany) which have played a role," Larijani told reporters in Russia on Saturday after holding talks with the high-ranking Russian officials.

The Iranian speaker said he has also discussed fight against terrorism with the Russian officials, adding that the Russians enjoy close views with Iran and they are interested in the development of economic ties with Iran.

His remarks came after US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on Friday, outlining Washington's strategy on Iran.

The US president refused to certify the 2015 international nuclear agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany, and warned that he might ultimately terminate it, in defiance of other world powers and undermining a landmark victory of multilateral diplomacy.

Trump said he would choose not to certify that Tehran is complying with the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
