Iran Press/Iran news: Iranian politician and MP representing Tehran in the parliament (Majlis) Mostafa Kavakebian said if the Europeans want Iran to remain within the JCPOA, then they must help Iran to bypass US sanctions and they must reduce the effect of sanctions on Iran, and they must ensure that Iran receives the economic benefits of signing up to JCPOA.
Kavakebian reiterated that the Europeans must fulfil their obligations and commitments under the deal and they have only ten days or so to honour their obligations, reported Iran Press.
