‘It’s not up to single country to terminate Iran nuclear deal’ – EU foreign policy chief | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The 2015 Iran nuclear deal is not a “bilateral agreement,” and it cannot be terminated by any single country, EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini said in response to Donald Trump’s announcement that he is not re-certifying the deal. | |
“It is not a bilateral agreement. It does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it,” Mogherini announced. | |

Instead, earlier on Friday, US President Donald Trump announced that he is deferring the matter to the US Congress, so that it could amend the agreement and “strengthen its enforcement.” | |
He once again claimed that Tehran committed “multiple violations” of the deal, despite the IAEA’s confirmation of Iran’s compliance. | |
The US also imposed a fresh set of sanctions against the Islamic Republic, unrelated to its nuclear program. | |
The UK, France and Germany for their part said in a joint statement that the respective deal is “in [their] joint national interest.” | |
