Imam Khamenei during his address warned against 'any wrong move' regarding Iran nuclear deal, known also as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), saying any such a move 'will be met with Iran’s reaction'.
Russia Today, Russia's English television channel, citing Imam Khamenei, wrote on its website that, 'Iran will react strongly to any wrong move which threatens to undermine the JCPOA.'

Russia's Sputnik news agency, on the other hand, wrote, '[Ayatollah] Khamenei said that the Iranian nation 'stands firmly on its own feet' and is capable of responding to hostile actions of any state,' referring to the speech made by Iran's Leader at the graduation ceremony at the Iran's Police Academy.

'They (the US administration) have shown wickedness and malicious behavior with regard to the JCPOA (nuclear deal). The country's officials reached the conclusion that they should negotiate and ignore some of their rights so that sanctions would be removed,' Xinhua said, quoting Ayatollah Khamenei.
'However, today, we see that despite all agreements and promises and many discussions during the negotiations, the United States treats these negotiations and their outcome in a totally oppressive and bullying manner,' the Chinese news agency wrote, citing the Iranian Supreme Leader.
