Iran tells Europe to prove sincere JCPOA commitment
Rokna: Iran has called on the European parties to the 2015 deal (JCPOA), including Germany, to prove their sincere commitment to the pact, instead of toeing in the line of the United States.
“Neither will Iran renegotiate a done deal, nor will the UNSCR 2231 change by such stances [by some parties],” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said during his weekly presser on Monday.
His comments came in reaction to Germany’s call for a renegotiation of the 2015 nuclear agreement over Iran’s national defense program.
Germany’s top diplomat, Heiko Maas, toeing the line of America, has spoken of what he called a “nuclear deal plus” with Iran that would also cover the country’s conventional missile program and regional role. Maas said “a return to the previous agreement will not be enough,” and that “there will have to be a kind of ‘nuclear deal plus’, which is also in our interest.”
Khatibzadeh urged the Europeans to take the right decisions, saying, “Germany and other parties to the deal should know that what has not been achieved by the US’ so-called maximum pressure, will not be reached by any other means.”
