Iran Press/ America: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the European states to invest in measures to save the nuclear deal from falling apart, saying Tehran hasn’t seen any move so far.
"Although the Europeans claim that they want to save Iran's nuclear deal, but it seems they are not ready for investment to do so," Zarif told the press as he arrived in New York to take part in the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC)’s annual High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), Iran Press reported.
Zarif also described the US actions toward Iran as economic terrorism and said: " the members of the international community should be informed about the US actions."
Calling US to return to the negotiating table, Zarif said: " it’s up to them to do so after they left the deal unilaterally."
"We didn’t leave the table. It’s still there. We sat down at this table and discussed JCPOA with other parties," he mentioned.
Iranian foreign minister said that the UK has promised to facilitate the liberation of Iranian seized supertanker in the Strait of Gibraltar.
London claim that Iranian supertanker headed to Syria, but Iran rejects it.
Zarif added: "There are good signs that show the region is getting back to Iran’s point of view that regional security won’t be provided from outside."
"I believe the only way for our region is collective security and talks," Zarif stressed.
He referred to Iran’s proposal of non-aggression pact between regional countries and said: "The only way to obtain security in the region is this. Regional countries, one by one, are coming to the conclusion that they can’t buy their security from outside."
