Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said that Iran will not wait for Europe regarding JCPOA.

Iran Press/Iran news: Emphasizing that Tehran will not be the first party who violates Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the chairman of Iran's supreme national security council said that if Europe is reluctant to pay the cost of maintaining JCPOA, it needs to know that Iran will not wait for Europe.

In an interview with the Persian-language 'Tehran Foreign Policy Studies Quarterly' published on Monday, Shamkhani said: "Europeans should not expect Iran to abandon its rights and the facilities it has provided to Tehran for mutual action", Iran Press reported.

Earlier on November 26, 2018, Araghchi who was one of the top nuclear negotiators during tough talks on the JCPOA told a seminar on peaceful nuclear cooperation between Iran and the European Union in Brussels that the JCPOA was an important achievement both to Iran and the EU.

Reiterating that the US president thinks that he can impose his unreasonable and domineering demands on the Iranian people using economic pressure, Shamkhani emphasized that the US is even unable to force major countries in the world to impose sanctions against Iran.
