| “It is necessary to explain that the action taken by the three European countries is a passive and weak position,” Abbas Mousavi, spokesman for the foreign ministry, warned in a statement. | |
| He spoke shortly after Germany, France and the UK initiated a special dispute resolution procedure under the 2015 deal citing Iran’s alleged non-compliance with the pact. | |
| Now, the Islamic Republic will provide a “serious and firm” response to any “destructive initiative” taken by any signatory of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Mousavi warned. | |
| Tehran's statement comes after France, Germany and the UK triggered an investigation into Iran's alleged breaching of the 2015 nuclear deal. The European trio triggered the mechanism after Iran announced it would roll back its commitments under the deal following the killing of one of its top military commanders in a US drone strike earlier this month. | |
| In a joint statement on Tuesday, the three countries asserted that Tehran had "no legal grounds" to stop complying with the terms of the agreement and that they were left with "no choice" but the take action. | |
| Iran has also accused European countries of violating the deal, however, with the country's foreign ministry saying on Tuesday that European parties “failed to take tangible and serious action to meet their commitments” following the US’ abrupt departure from the agreement in 2018. | |
| While Paris, Berlin and London implemented the investigation mechanism, they still made it clear that they are not joining Washington's campaign of exerting "maximum pressure" on Tehran. | |
