Iran is set to further cut its commitments to its international nuclear deal unless its European partners move to protect it from U.S. sanctions by ensuring it can sell oil and receive income, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told state television.
"Under current circumstances and if no action is taken (by the Europeans) we will take the next step (in cutting commitments)," Reuters cited the Iranian diplomat as saying.
Zarif added that its European partners should guarantee Iran could sell its oil and collect the revenue.
Earlier, Tehran has said it will reduce its commitment to the nuclear accord in stages and may even withdrew from the pact unless the Europeans find ways to shield its economy from the U.S. sanctions.
