TEHRAN – The spokesman of the Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has said that the European companies’ withdrawal from Iran shows a huge gap between Europeans’ words and actions regarding the fate of the 2015 nuclear deal, aka the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“The Europeans have shown that they are following the path of America. That’s why their major companies are abandoning Iran under the pretext of American sanctions,” Hossein Naqavi Hosseini told Mehr News Agency.
Naqavi Hosseini added that the European companies’ abandonment of their projects in Iran points in favor of a pessimistic view of the E3’s (the UK, France, and Germany) promise to keep the nuclear deal in place.
On the suspension of discussing Iran’s membership to the International Convention for the Suppression of Financing of Terrorism (also referred to as CFT) at the Majlis for two months, saying that the negotiators must use passing the piece of legislation as a political leverage to put pressures on the E3 to provide guarantees to secure Iran’s interest in the nuclear deal.
He added that the Europeans’ way of dealing with Iran’s demands has proven that all those inside the country who still are optimist about the success of the nuclear deal are wrong, calling the other side an enemy who should be treated the way they are.
