Iran Press/Iran News: Speaking to Mehr News correspondent on Thursday, head of Parliament’s Security Committee Valiollah Nanvakenari, said while Iran cannot put its' 100% trust in Europe regarding their promises for facilitating trade with Iran in the face of US sanctions, the process of talks with the EU is still promising.
“We hope that EU is committed to bringing their words into action and comply with their agreements with Iran regarding the implementation of a financial mechanism,” head of Parliament’s Security Committee added.
The parliamentary official warned that today more than ever, the US and Israeli regime are seeking to dissuade European countries from doing business with Iran, adding: “of course, Europe is insisting on the preservation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and commitment to the international agreement.”

Nanvakenari went on to stress that Iran needs to persuade EU to make their promised financial mechanism operational as soon as possible, given the current situation.
