The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is still strong despite US' pullout fom it unilaterally, said the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Iran.

'The one that doesn't feel well is [US President] Donald Trump who couldn't stand the JCPOA and quit it, and today everyone except the US is trying to safeguard the deal,' Bahram Qasemi said.

Answering a question about the EU proposed package to Iran, Qasemi said, 'After the US's illegal exit from Iran Deal and our 4+1 partners' interest in keeping the deal, some talks started between Iran, the EU and China and Russia on how to keep the deal without the US.'

He said that one shouldn’t make a mistake and name only the three EU countries and ignore the other two; all the five countries are committed to it and, thanks to their presence in the JCPOA, they have responsibility to keep it.

The package to be proposed to Iran should be one agreed upon by all the five countries, and nothing can be considered without Russia and China.

In another part of his speech,regarding the assassination of Sheikh Jafar Tavakkoli of Herat. ,said the spokesman for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs,terrorists and their supporters cannot break the religious unity of Afghanistan.

'I'm positive that the people of Afghanistan are alert and will neutralize the enemy's conspiracy as before and the terrorists and their backers cannot break the unity of religions in Afghanistan', said Bahram Qasemi in his weekly press conference.

When going home, religious scholar Tavakkoli was shot to death on Saturday night by unknown people. No person or group has claimed the responsibility for the assassination yet.
