Iran Press/Europe: According to the British Foreign Office, the meeting will be held on the sideline of the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels.
The meeting comes as Iran’s quadruple steps for reducing its nuclear commitments within the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has stepped up pressure on Europe.
In a meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister, Stef Blok, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi said: "If Europe wants to preserve the Iran nuclear deal, it should be ready to pay its price."
Criticizing European inaction, Araghchi who is in The Hague to attend the third round of Iran-Netherlands political consultations mentioned Iran’s four steps for reducing its nuclear commitments within the deal and said, “Reducing our commitments will continue until Iran’s benefits from JCPOA are fully restored.”
On 8th May 2018 the US unilaterally pulled out of the multilateral international nuclear deal, and re-imposed tough sanctions on Iran; no longer as UN sanctions but as US maximum-pressure sanctions.
Iran took the fourth step in reducing its commitments including the injection of uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6) into Fordow's centrifuges, pouring concrete for a new reactor at the Bushehr power plant and operating 60 IR-6 advanced centrifuges. 101
