Iran's permanent envoy to Vienna-based international organizations Kazem Gharibabadi in his meeting with the UK envoy asked European countries to stand against US unilateral sanctions against Iran.

Iran Press/Iran: Iran’s permanent envoy to Vienna-based international organizations Kazem Gharibabadi in his meeting with the UK permanent envoy in Vienna-based international organizations and also ambassador of UK in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) simultaneously, said: “European countries involved in nuclear talks must make their utmost efforts to stand against US unilateralism and should try to minimize the negative effects of re-imposition of unilateral sanctions against Iran.”

The two sides placed special emphasis on enhancing and broadening mutual cooperation especially consulting with regard to the prioritized issues between the two countries in the field of The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in particular.

Gharibabadi pointed to the cooperation of Iran with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and said, “the director general of IAEA has repeatedly verified Iran’s fully compliance with its commitments within the framework of JCPOA.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the important issue of dealing with drug and the necessity of adoption of a comprehensive strategy by the international community and concerned international organizations in this field and said: “Iran is steadfast to deal with the drug trafficking in the global level in a way that this ill phenomenon has cost dearly for the country.”

To conclude his remarks, Iran’s permanent envoy to Vienna-based international organizations once again called on all concerned organizations and bodies to help Iran both technically and financially in order to materialize its' objectives in this field.

In May, Trump called the nuclear accord - or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as it is formally known - a "horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made" and withdraw from the deal.

But Yukiya Amano Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the agency will continue its cooperation with Iran regardless of US withdrawal of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
