Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking on the sidelines of Cabinet meeting, Mohammad Javad Zarif blamed Europeans for not being ready to pay to guarantee their security and named the US the main problem of the Europeans.
We act upon our rights and the other side breaches JCPOA. The solution is halting economic terrorism against Iran. Then we can take necessary measures,” Zarif said according to Iran Press.
He also said that the 'snapback' mechanism, to renew United Nations sanctions, cannot become operational since according to section 26 of JCPOA, this is violation of the nuclear deal.
“Iran has utilized compensatory mechanisms defined in the JCPOA, i.e. section 26,” he said, “Europeans have used the mechanism as an instrument and they know the snapback mechanism cannot become operational.”
Addressing Iran’s further measures about scaling down its JCPOA obligations, the Iranian minister explained that Iran will decide about its future measures independently and based on its own interests.
Zarif also referred to his meeting with Emanuel Macron, which is to take place on Wednesday evening, emphasizing that Iran has fully implemented JCPOA.
About the seizure of the super tanker he went on to say that the tanker is not Iran’s property and had not been sailing under an Iranian flag, therefore, legal measures must be taken by its owners.
He called UK’s act a banditry adding that the act has been done under US demand to sanctions Iran’s oil exports and has nothing to do with Syria. 101
