TEHRAN - Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday that the recent US vote for the extension of Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) is a clear violation of an international deal on Iran's nuclear issue, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Rouhani called the vote "a blatant infringement" of the nuclear deal, saying that the US president should not endorse it and "should use his authority to block it from being enforced."

He said Iran will not tolerate the infringement of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal, by any party involved in the contract, and will respond decisively.

Senior Iranian officials have been voicing their criticism and concerns about the violation of the nuclear deal following the US vote to extend the ISA for another 10 years.

The vote by the US House of Representatives is endorsed by the US Senate on Thursday, still has to be signed by the US president to become a law.

The ISA was first adopted in 1996 to sanction Iran over its controversial nuclear program.

Rouhani stressed Sunday Iran's commitments to the JCPOA, which put an end to Iran's disputable nuclear issue last year, calling it "an international document."
