Iran to ignore EU demands, get even with US: Larijani
Tehran (KNA) - Parliament speaker Ali Larijani says Iran no longer holds value for Europe’s demands as European governments have let it down in their fighting hostile US policies, pledging that the Islamic Republic will “get even" with the US on its own.
We are trying to find out why European leaders and the European Union only support us in rhetoric or only [use words] to express regret at America's actions," Larijani said during a meeting with Wolfgang Gerstl, the head of Austria-Iran parliamentary friendship group in Tehran on early Monday.
"Sure you might say there are problems because of US pressure and it might sound logical but we look at this from our own point of view and the most important thing for us is that this behavior has raised questions about EU's credibility and it means that the EU lacks the weight to solve problems," he asserted.
Larijani said Europe has yet to deliver on the promises it made to Tehran to save the 2015 nuclear deal in the wake of US President Donald Trump's decision to abandon it last year.
"The European Union, too, has taken certain measures but we are yet to see any results," Larijani said.
