Iran urges Europe not to abandon nuclear agreement – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

Tehran called on Europe to remain in the Iranian nuclear deal despite pressure from the United States, but doubted its strength and independence to shoulder the political and economic costs involved.

Iran was one of the pillars of the third and final day of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), which focused on the multiple tensions in the Middle East, from Tehran to Riyadh. or Tel Aviv, wars in Syria and Yemen. the blockade of Qatar and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohamad Yavad Zarif said Washington's request to its European partners, expressed in Munich by US Vice President Mike Pence, is "arrogant" and guided by "hatred" , in addition to hiding a goal. much more strategic for your country and for the whole region.

"I think the United States is doing nothing more than asking for a change of government" in Iran, he said.

The US release of the JCPOA, the acronym for the nuclear deal, was "illegal and one-sided" and was guided by an "unhealthy fixation" and a "pathological obsession of the United States with Iran." "It goes back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution," says Zarif.

Tehran "appreciates" the "great effort" of the European signatories of the agreement (France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union) to keep the agreement alive after the departure of Washington, which imposed sanctions on Iran.

However, he felt that Europe "is not ready to invest, to pay the price", which means to remain firm in the defense of the agreement.

"Iran can not badume the entire bill of agreement, Europe must get wet if it wants to swim against the unilateralism of the United States", has said Zarif, who warned that "an abuser will abuse more if he is ignored".
