A top Iranian official said Sunday that European countries who are part of the 2015 nuclear deal have not met their obligations, one day after Tehran said it had breached part of the pact.
“Unfortunately the European parties have failed to fulfill their commitments ... The deal is not a one-way street and Iran will act accordingly as we have done so far by gradually downgrading our commitments,” said Ali Akbar Salehi, director of Iran’s nuclear energy agency, according to Reuters.
“Iran will continue to reduce its nuclear commitments as long as the other parties fail to carry out their commitments,” Salehi added.
The U.K., France and Germany have attempted to launch a trade mechanism with Iran to shield the country from U.S. sanctions, but have not been successful, according to the wire service. Iran last week gave the countries a 60-day deadline.
