British, French FMs discuss nuclear deal with ZarifTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – In separate phone calls with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif, the European officials emphasized Iran’s benefits from the agreement.

Zarif, for his part, stressed presenting a guarantee by other signatories to the deal to assure Iran of benefiting the agreement.

They also agreed to hold intensive talks at the level of experts and ministers.

US President Donald Trump declared that his country is pulling out of the JCPOA, saying Washington will not only reinstate the anti-Iran sanctions lifted as part of the deal, but will also “be instituting the highest level of economic” bans against the Islamic Republic.

The JCPOA came out of years of negotiations between Iran on one side and six world powers, namely the US, Russia, China, Germany, France and Britain, on the other, in July 2015.

Other signatories to the deal, as well as the United Nations and the EU had warned Washington against any bid to sabotage it. They call the JCPOA a pillar of regional and international peace and stability, and reiterate the multilateral pact cannot be simply terminated by a single party.
