Zarif warns EU over nuclear commitments
Iranian regime said on Monday (September 2) it would further scale back its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal if European parties failed to shield Tehran’s economy from sanctions reimposed by the United States since President Donald Trump exited the deal last year.

“It is meaningless to continue unilateral commitments to the deal if we don’t enjoy its benefits as promised by the deal’s European parties,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart in Moscow.

Iranian regime’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araghchi is heading to Paris to hold talks with French officials about the deal.

Also, Iranian regime’s spokesman said on Monday that Iran and France’s views on the deal have moved closer, mainly after phone calls between President Hassan Rouhani and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

But Rabiei warned: “If Tehran’s satisfaction has not been guaranteed about the realizations of commitments (by Europe) by the set deadline, we will take a strong step to reduce commitments.”

US President Donald Trump last year unilaterally pulled his country out of the 2015 accord between Iran and six world powers aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program. Washington has also reimposed sanctions on exports of Iranian oil.
