She also stressed that the Iranian regime must comply with all its obligations under the 2015 international nuclear deal (JCPOA) and immediately release the British-flagged oil tanker Stena Impero.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Zarif just three weeks ago for his role as a key enabler of the Iranian regime\u2019s policies in the region and the world.
