They will be responsible for European countries for the failure of the 2015 nuclear agreement and accuses them of not having maintained their commitments, said the diplomacy spokesman on Monday, July 21, before the conversations on Friday, July 25 in Istanbul with France, the United Kingdom and Germany.
“European parties have been defective and negligent in the implementation” of the nuclear agreement, said diplomacy spokesman Esmaïl Baghaï.
A text to limit the Iranian program
The Vienna agreement was signed in 2015 to control the Iranian nuclear program. In this agreement, the European Union and the United States have promised to gradually lift the main sanctions of the UN against Iran if the country agreed to limit its program for at least a decade.
But the United States has unilaterally retired in 2018 of this agreement negotiated in 2018 and the sanctions deposited during the first mandate of Donald Trump (2017-2021).
European countries had secured their attachment to the text. The initially planned system to compensate for the return of US sanctions, however, fought to materialize and many Western companies were forced to leave Iran, facing unbridled inflation and an economic crisis.
Threats to restore sanctions
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), Iran is the only country not equipped with nuclear weapons to enrich uranium at a high level (60%), far beyond the 3.67%limit established by the international agreement concluded in 2015. To manufacture a pump, enrichment must be driven to 90%, according to IEA.
Paris, London and Berlin threaten in recent weeks to restore UN sanctions against Iran, as well as a clause of the agreement, accusing Tehran of not having respected their commitments in nuclear.
Using this mechanism “makes no sense, unjustifiable and immoral,” said Esmaïl Baghaï at a weekly press conference, arguing that Iran had distanced himself from the reprisal agreement for the deficiencies of Westerners.
“The reduction in Iran’s commitments has been carried out in accordance with the provisions” provided by the text, he assured the diplomacy spokesman.
