Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that European efforts to save the nuclear deal after the exit of the United States were not sufficient.
"The cascade of decisions by EU companies to end their activities in Iran makes things much more complicated," Iran's Foreign Minister said after meeting with EU energy commissioner Miguel Arias Canete, who has been on a two-day visit to Tehran.
"With the exit of the United States from the nuclear deal, the expectations of the Iranian public towards the European Union have increased... and the EU's political support for the nuclear agreement is not sufficient," Zarif added in comments carried by state broadcaster IRIB.
"The European Union must take concrete supplementary steps to increase its investments in Iran. The commitments of the EU to apply the nuclear deal are not compatible with the announcement of probable withdrawal by major European companies," AFP cited Zarif as saying.
