Tehran 06 July_Iran’s foreign minister says he has triggered the “dispute resolution mechanism” of the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the JCPOA, on at least six occasions.

Iran says has triggered JCPOA dispute mechanism ‘six times’“Don't believe the hype: Iran triggered JCPOA DRM (Dispute Resolution Mechanism) on at least 6 occasions (in ref to US AND E3 violations),” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted on Saturday.

“16 Dec 2016 (US), 10 May 2018 (US), 17 June 2018 (US), 6 Nov 2018 (US & E3), 8 May 2019 (US & E3), 2 July 2020 (E3),” Zarif wrote, referring to the dates of his letters through which he says Iran has triggered the dispute mechanism.

“I will be publishing all my letters shortly,” he added.

His comments came in reaction to the European Union’s top diplomat who said he has received a letter from Iran that demands triggering the dispute resolution mechanism of the JCPOA over the failure of the three European signatories to the agreement to honor their commitments.

In a statement released on Friday, Josep Borrell said the letter written by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif underlined Iran's concerns regarding implementation issues on the part of France, Germany and Britain to the Joint Commission of the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for resolution through the dispute process set out in the agreement's paragraph 36.
