JCPOA, US in spotlight as Rouhani meets Europe leaders
Tehran (KNA) - Meeting with European leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Iran’s president has urged the international community to help preserve the landmark 2015 nuclear deal by withstanding US pressure and unilateralism.
On Tuesday, President Hassan Rouhani held separate meetings with the French, British, Belgian, and Norwegian leaders in New York, the seat of the Assembly.
Washington's unilateral withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was "an illegal action and against regulations," Rouhani told his French counterpart, Emanuel Macron.
The Iranian chief executive highlighted the importance of international endeavors to confront "unilateralism" and preserve the agreement.
Macron, likewise, laid emphasis on the need for the agreement to be preserved, and said that his country was trying to make that happen.
Meeting with UK Prime Minister Theresa May, President Rouhani said reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had confirmed Iran's commitment to its obligations under the JCPOA.
