Iran asks Europe to continue pressuring Trump to remain committed to N. deal

FNA- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi urged the European states to continue pressuring the administration of US President Donald Trump to remain committed to the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran, dismissing any possibility for reviewing the internationally-endorsed agreement.

"Europe cannot accept that the nuclear deal be reviewed for the sake of appeasing Mr. Trump to maintain the nuclear deal. The nuclear deal is an interconnected framework that either all of it is helpful or had better be forgotten. Europe should continue exerting necessary pressures on Trump to force him commit to the nuclear deal," Qassemi said on Saturday.

Noting that the world is now aware that the US is not trustworthy anymore and doesnt abide by any international agreement, he said, "Trump doesnt know what he wants from the nuclear deal and might be seeking an opportunity to earn something in between."

"By the nuclear deal, Trump has lost the possibility for aggression, violation and assault (against Iran) and in such atmosphere, he feels obliged to destroy all world and international pillars," Qassemi said.

In relevant remarks on Thursday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at his US counterpart Donald Trump for his contemptible remarks at the UN General Assembly meeting, stressing that Iran will consider all options if Washington decertifies the 2015 nuclear deal.

As regards the JCPOA issue, we will be firm and if a person disrupts it, all options will be before us, President Rouhani said upon arrival in Tehran from New York, where he addressed the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly.

He said that the US was the most isolated country at the UN over its stance on Iran's nuclear accord, citing President Donald Trumps attack on the agreement while other world leaders defended it.

Trump spoke against the JCPOA while every one else spoke in favor of the JCPOA at the UN," Rouhani said, referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as the nuclear accord is officially called.

The US went against the tide and was the most isolated country at the UN over the nuclear agreement, which has been certified by the UN, he added.

During his speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump said the JCPOA was an embarrassment to the United States and one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.

After Trumps address, Rouhani said many reporters, officials and European heads of state said explicitly that they opposed the US presidents remarks.

Trump made major mistakes in his speech and leveled baseless allegations that are beneath the dignity of the United Nations and the person who deems himself the president of a country, Rouhani added.

He underlined that in his meetings with European officials from France, Britain, Sweden, Belgium and Bulgaria, all stressed that the JCPOA was non-renegotiable and all sides had to implement it.
