Iran PressIran news: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif posted a message on his official Twitter page emphasizing several issues at the meeting of foreign ministers of the remaining members of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

In a Twitter message, the Iranian Foreign Minister stated the issues raised in his meeting with the Foreign Ministers of China, Russia, Germany, France and Britain as the following: 1. Deadline for three European member states to save JCPOA, 2. Trade data between 2014-2019 proves that the European Union and the three European countries have violated their obligations, 3. Three European countries share irreparable damage to the Iranians with the United States.

The JCPOA timetable (an issue) is inseparable from the agreement and renegotiation is not possible. The crises and armaments in our region have originated mainly from the United States and three European countries' policies.
