MNA � Chairman of Iranian Parliament�s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh has called the European Countries� actions in circumventing US sanctions on Iran as �weak�.

�Preserving oil exports, maintaining financial and banking relations, as well as investing in Iran are some of the issues that have been discussed with Europeans since the US withdrawal [from the JCPOA],� Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh said in a reference to Germany�s latest attempt to establish an independent financial system to circumvent US reinstated sanctions on Iran after its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal back in May.

Calling the EU�s action in preserving the JCPOA �weak�, Falahatpisheh said �brining up issues such as circumventing US sanctions shows that the US controls the world's financial and banking system.�

The National Security Commission chairman further noted that the Europeans are not trying their best to solve Iran�s problems, saying �the Europeans even in taking some actions take into account their own interests.�

�Europeans� plan to create a semi-SWIFT system is aimed at securing their own interests� he underlined.

He said that in circumventing the US sanctions will benefit EU�s companies, which is not welcome by Iran.
