As the threat of looming U.S. sanctions hangs over Iran, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif, who was the chief Iranian negotiator in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) has urged the European Union to step up their actions in line with the commitments made to the Iranians to counter the looming sanctions. The European Union has already announced that it remains opposed to the U.S. decision to unilaterally move out of the Iran nuclear agreement and at a time when the JCPoA watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) announced that Iran remains compliant with the agreement.
The first tranche of U.S. sanctions will be re-imposed on Iran in August and the rest of it will be live by November this year. President Trump has promised to make the sanctions harshest ever after he pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear agreement earlier this year.
To ignite the European spirit amid trade tensions with the United States, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif said that Europe should not sell itself short in the international affairs. He added, “What we need from the Europeans is both the political commitment, which they have made, now we need to see the measures in place on the ground, not simply in writing, not simply in words, in the banking sector, in the investment sector, in the energy sector, in the transportation sector, in the SME sector"
He also took the opportunity to hail Iran’s relations with Russia and Syria while bashing the U.S. for covertly supporting the Islamic State terrorist group, “We have good communication and coordination with Russia and with the Syrian government and we will continue to do so. Our objective here is very clear, that is our objective and the objective of the Russian Federation and that is to fight against terrorism and extremism……Now if President Trump wants to take credit for it, he should take credit for supporting Daesh which has been what the US and its allies have been doing all along. The fact that US arms, US weapons have been found in the hands of ISIS and other extremist organizations is documented, is documented by Western sources. So I think we should look at the realities, those who fought terrorism, those who fought extremism are Syrian people and those who work with Syria people."
