He said Iran fully abides by its obligations under this agreement but the European partners have failed to safeguard "our economic interests."
The U.S. withdrawal was met with worldwide criticism, particularly by other signatories to the international agreement. Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany and the European Union have stressed their compliance with the deal and their support for its proper implementation.
Accordingly, Iran and Europe have begun talks to maintain the deal in recent weeks with Europe pledging to ensure Iran's benefits for the country to be able to remain a party to the deal and to counter the U.S.-led pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. 206/103
