Signatories react after Iran’s warning shot on nuclear deal
Tehran (KNA) - China, France, and Russia have separately reacted after Iran suspended some of its commitments under a nuclear deal in reciprocation for the withdrawal of the United States last year.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Wednesday that the deal - officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) - should be fully implemented.
He also said that all sides to the JCPOA had a responsibility to ensure the implementation of the multilateral agreement.
The remarks came shortly after Iran's President Hassan Rouhani announced the suspension of some of the country's commitments under the JCPOA on Tuesday, precisely a year after it was unilaterally abandoned by Washington.
Iran has ever since been warning that in order for it to continue to stay in the deal, other parties have to work to offset any negative impacts caused by America's withdrawal. That has not happened in practice, Tehran argues.
