EU's appeasement of Trump will make JCPOA impotent: Iranian official
tehran (KNA) - A senior Iranian official says the 2015 nuclear agreement should be honored in its current form, adding that the Islamic Republic will not accept a deal that harms the country.
Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on international affairs, said on Thursday that Iran will surely withdraw from the multilateral accord should the United States pull out of it.
"If the Americans attempt to violate the JCPOA, it is not clear whether the Islamic Republic will remain committed to its obligations and if they exit, Iran will definitely leave it, too," he said, using an acronym for the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Velayati said if the European countries question the solidity of the JCPOA and reinstate sanctions against Iran, which were lifted under the nuclear pact, they will make the deal "ineffective" as far as Iran's interests are concerned.
