Iran Press/Iran news: Mohammad Javad Zarif made remark while speaking in an interview with Khamenei.ir website held on the sidelines of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei meeting with a group of governmental officials and ambassadors of Islamic countries to Tehran on Wednesday.
In answer to a question about Supreme Leader’s earlier remarks on Iran nuclear deal saying “Europe has left the JCPOA in practice”, Zarif said Europeans considered JCPOA as an achievement from the very beginning but they probably were not strong enough to stand by it and confront sanctions, Iran Press reported.
Definitely, Europe did not have enough capability to stand against US sanctions, Zarif added.
They made some attempts but as Supreme Leader said it was not enough and even in some cases these attempts indicated their unpreparedness to pay for what they claimed it had strategic importance for them, he noted.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Zarif promised pursuing Europe’s measures, warning and pressuring them to comply with their commitments.
