Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Saturday that the Americans violated law though withdrawal of Iran's nuclear deal (JCPOA) and are also inviting the world to do the same thing.

Iranpress/Iran news :Zarif made the remarks on the sidelines of the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between foreign ministry and ministry of health, treatment and education in Tehran on Saturday quoted by IRNA . 

'If the world fails to stand against the US, they will have to pay high cost more than what they paid for the JCPOA,' he said.

Iran will continue holding talks with different countries, Zarif said, adding that Tehran has resumed new round of talks at the level of deputy foreign ministers and today such talks were held between Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and UK deputy foreign secretary.

Some months ago, Araqchi was in England and nothing has happened and it is among duties of the Iranian deputy foreign minister to hold such talks, Zarif said. 

In all round of talks, the two sides will review issues of mutual interests along with regional and international developments, he said. 

Talks between Iran and England will be focused on G4+1, implementation of the JCPOA, access to banking sources and sales of Iran's petroleum which have been stipulated at the JCPOA, Zarif said. 

As declared before, time is ripe for Europeans to take action in line with their political commitment in dealing with the JCOPA which might be costly for them, but anyhow and in case they mind to make use of the JCPOA advantages, they should voice readiness to maintain their international achievements, he said. 

They should pay the same price as the Islamic Republic of Iran, Zarif said.

On Aug 30,2018 , High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy ,Fderica Mogherini said that  despite the challenging outcomes of he US sanctions, the EU countries are aimed at preserving Iran deal.

  Federica  Mogherini made the remarks in a statement on her visit with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen.“We also had the opportunity to exchange views on the work we are doing to preserve the Iran nuclear deal that reached after long negotiations here in Vienna, so we have to keep the Vienna spirit. For - again - the sake of our own security,” the statement reads.

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.

After Washington's May 8 exit from the historic Iran Deal, the US gave 90 to 180 wind-down period to other countries before it starts re-imposing oil sanctions on Tehran on November 4.

Part of the US illegitimate sanctions were imposed on Iran on August 9. Trump also said he would reinstate the US nuclear sanctions on Iran and impose “the highest level” of economic bans on the Islamic Republic.

 

 

Last month US Secretary of State talked about  a "maximum pressure campaign" targeting Iran that will support protests in this country.

Pompeo along with US national security adviser, John Bolton has been a vocal critic of the Iran and the internationally negotiated Iran nuclear deal of 2015 and advocated immediate regime change.
