Iran Press/Iran news: The chair of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy commission, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, met on Sunday with Britain's Minister for the Middle East within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Alistair Burt.
Commenting on JCPOA Falahatpisheh said: "The political will of European countries vis-a-vis JCPOA is praiseworthy, but so far the Europeans have shown little economic support for the JCPOA, and have taken no practical steps to bolster the nuclear deal (JCPOA )."
The senior Iranian MP also emphasized that Iran expects Europe to take more practical steps in this regard.
Referring to the significance and importance of parliamentary cooperation between Tehran and London, and the important role the two parliaments play in decision-making, Falahatpisheh went on to say that promoting parliamentary ties between the two countries will help raise the level of understanding between Tehran and London, and will lead to more cooperation between the two countries.

Falahatpisheh went on to stress Europe's role in countering US sanctions against Iran, by supporting the sale of Iranian crude oil, by facilitating financial and banking transactions with Iran, and by encouraging European companies and businesses to have an active presence in Iran. Falahatpisheh added: "This is the minimum we expect from the Europeans if the nuclear deal (JCPOA ) is to be preserved."
