Zarif, Mogherini meet in KuwaitTEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - During the meeting, Zarif discussed Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with P5+1 and the US refusal to entirely comply with its commitments to the international deal.

The agreement, reached between Iran and the P5+1 countries -- the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany -- put limitations on parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for removing all nuclear-related sanctions.

Over the past year, US President Donald Trump has been trying to weaken the agreement in numerous ways, including by advising Europe not to resume its post-JCPOA economic transactions with Iran as well as threatening to “tear up” the deal and reintroduce nuclear-related bans against the Islamic Republic.

In January, he extended waivers of economic sanctions on Iran for another 120 days but said he was doing so “for the last time.”

Washington has also been seeking to lobby the European signatories to develop a “side agreement” to the Iran deal.
