Special Aide to Iranian Parliament Speaker on International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian criticized the US and three European countries, accusing them of pushing the nuclear deal to death.
In a meeting with the Danish Ambassador to Tehran Jasper War on Wednesday, Amir-Abdollahian called European negotiation policy and the lack of serious efforts to lift unilateral US sanctions a “waste of time.”
“Behaviors of the United States and the three countries of Britain, Germany, and France led the JCPOA to death,” the Iranian official said as quoted by Mehr news agency, referring to the official name of the 2015 deal, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
He pointed to the European policy’s lack of serious efforts to lift US unilateral sanctions against the Iranian people, warning that if the anti-Iran sanctions are not lifted and the other sides do not fulfill their obligations, “the Islamic Republic of Iran will have newer scenarios.”
During the meeting, the two sides discussed various issues and topics, including the need to expand parliamentary relations between the two countries and some developments in the region and the world, the Iranian agency added.
The Danish envoy, for his part, underlined Denmark’s growing cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and pointed to the importance of parliamentary cooperation.
He briefed the Iranian side about his country’s stances toward the JCPOA, underscoring the vitality of preserving the deal.
