Iran’s deputy foreign minister asserted that “Iran continues its nuclear activities legitimately within the [JCPOA] framework… Until the violating and non-compliant party to the deal does not demonstrate, in practice, its commitment to the JCPOA, there is no reason for Iran to abandon its rights and entitlements guaranteed by the deal”. “The U.S. and the EU must show that they have the political will to implement what they agreed to do in 2015”, he contended. “They must overcome domestic considerations to resolve this”.
