  However, Congress passed the ball back to Trump by letting the deadline on reimposing sanctions on Iran pass. Trump must decide in mid-January if he wants to continue to waive sanctions on Iran.
  "The JCPOA and the Majlis have predicted Iran's response if the U.S. pulls out of the deal," Velayati said in a joint press conference in Tehran with Humam Hamoudi, head of Iraq's Islamic Supreme Council and the country's first deputy parliament speaker.
  'U.S. seeks divisive policies in Syria, Iraq'
  Velayati also said that the U.S. seeks divisive policies in Iraq and Syria, however, the two countries maintained integrity and succeeded to defeat Daesh.
  He said that the U.S. makes efforts to split the Kurdistan region from Iraq but "their wish will not come true".
  Commenting on bilateral ties, he said that Iran and Iraq enjoy "strategic" relationship based on good neighborliness.
  'Iraq seeks to use Iran's experiences'
  During the meeting with Velayati, Hamoudi said that Iraq is seeking to use Iran's experiences for economic development.
  He also praised Iran's supports for the Iraqi government and people in difficult days.
  "The Islamic Republic of Iran was the first country that recognized the current Iraqi establishment and we thank the Iranian Leadership, government and people for supporting the Iraqi people in fight against Daesh," Hamoudi explained.
