Tasnim� Responding to US president-elect Donald Trump�s negative remarks about Iran�s nuclear deal, Federica Mogherini, the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, said the US can�t cancel the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).





�The Iranian nuclear agreement is not a mutual deal between Iran and US, but a multilateral agreement, which I am still responsible as the chairman of joint commission to supervise the full implementation of nuclear agreement by all sides,� Mogherini said during an interview with CNN.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), reached the comprehensive nuclear deal in July 2015 and it was implemented in January 2016.

During his presidential campaigns, Trump said the JCPOA was a �terrible� and �disastrous� deal.

�We give them $150 billion, we get nothing,� he said.

Under the JCPOA, Iran accessed its assets blocked abroad.

�The nuclear deal is [done] in the framework of the UN Security Council, [it is] not a bilateral or national issue,� Mogherini said.

After Trump�s winning the election, Iran�s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Iran expects the new US administration respect the nuclear deal.

Iran�s Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday that the future US president must remain committed to the JCPOA.
