EU urges Iran to reverse inconsistency on nuclear deal

ANKARA

EU urged Iran on Friday to reverse inconsistencies with its commitments on the nuclear deal.

In a press briefing, EU's Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said they consider the recent announcement of Iran regarding reducing commitments under nuclear deal with "great concern".

EU's commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by Iran, she added.

"We urge Iran to reverse all activities that are inconsistent with its commitments," Kocijancic stressed.

On Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that his country would soon take a third step in reducing its commitments under the nuclear deal.

The nuclear deal agreed on by Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K., the U.S. and the EU gave Tehran relief from sanctions in exchange of limiting its nuclear program.

Iran now insists that Europe must provide it additional economic support if they want to save the deal, after U.S. withdrew in May 2018 and slammed sanctions on Tehran.
