Europe and the United States have violated the nuclear deal, so are not in position to set conditions for Tehran, Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an interview published today ahead of a meeting with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Zarif warned that “any action to satisfy the party that has most violated the nuclear agreement is useless.”
"At present, two groups have violated the nuclear deal: the United States and the Europeans. The Americans because of Washington’s policy and the Europeans because of the US policy," Express Tribune cited the minister as saying.
"The Europeans, because of the policy of the US could not meet their commitments, especially in the banking sector. Therefore these two groups are not in a position to set conditions for the country that has fully implemented its commitments," Zarif told the Etemad newspaper.
