Rouhani orders further scaling back of JCPOA commitments
Iran and three European countries − Britain, France and Germany − have been engaged in talks to reduce tensions and rescue the multi-party deal, which has been unravelling since the US withdrew in May last year.
But with no apparent agreement in sight, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday made good on a promise to take another step away from the deal between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council powers, plus Germany (P5+1).
“The atomic energy organisation (of Iran) is ordered to immediately start whatever is needed in the field of research and development, and abandon all the commitments that were in place regarding research and development,” ISNA cited Rouhani as saying.
This is while, the EU on Thursday urged Iran to backtrack on moves to drop its commitments under the deal, known as the JCPOA.
