Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the United States administration is in denial of Iran’s obvious commitment to its obligations under a 2015 deal due to Washington’s “visceral hatred” toward Tehran.

“The UN & entire world say Iran is in full compliance with its commitments, but US visceral hatred of Iran compels it to deny the obvious,” Zarif tweeted on Friday.

On Thursday, the United Nations Security Council held a plenary meeting addressing the implementation of that deal, which is officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

However, the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, claimed the Council had ignored what she said was “Iran’s repeated violations” of the nuclear agreement.

Foreign Minister Zarif has just finished a tour of European countries — Germany, Italy, and France — where he discussed the JCPOA, among other things. He tweeted separately about those visits, saying he had had excellent meetings with European leaders in Berlin, Rome, and Paris.

“Excellent meetings with leaders in Berlin, Rome & Paris. Despite US reckless hostility, EU committed to JCPOA & constructive engagement,” he wrote.

European countries have been firm backers of the deal and have said time and again that the accord should be sustained.
