Iran reserves right to respond if US pulls out of JCPOA: Zarif
2018-05-04
[PRESSTV] Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Islamic Theocratic Republic reserves the right to respond should the US, as a party to the 2015 nuclear deal, withdraw from the agreement.

In a video message posted on YouTube on Thursday, Zarif compared Tehran's full commitment to its side of the bargain to Washington's breach of the deal, which is officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

On 11 occasions, he said, the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Iran has implemented all it obligations under the JCPOA, but "the US has consistently violated the agreement especially by bullying others from doing business with Iran."

Zarif also slammed the European countries' appeasement to US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
as a deadline looms for Washington to announce whether it will continue suspending anti-Iran sanctions that were lifted under the nuclear accord.

"In the last year or so, we've been told that President Trump is unhappy with the deal and it now appears that the response from some Europeans has been to offer the United States more concessions from our pocket," he said.

"This appeasement entails promises of a new deal that would include matters we all decided to exclude at the outset of our negotiations, including Iran's defensive capabilities and regional influence. But please understand on both issues, it is Iran, not the West, that has serious grievances and much to demand," he added.
