Zarif: Europeans sold out remnants of Iran deal to appease Trump

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the European signatories to a 2015 nuclear deal - France, Britain and Germany - chose to bow to American bullying and sell out the "remnants" of the multilateral agreement only to appease the US and avoid its sanctions.

Zarif made the remarks in a tweet on Thursday after The Washington Post reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on European automobile imports if the trio - known as EU3 or E3 - refused to formally accuse Iran of violating the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The report was published shortly after the European trio said in a joint statement on Tuesday that they had triggered the JCPOAs dispute mechanism, which mechanism amounts to a formal accusation that Tehran had broken the terms of the deal.

The European measure could lead to the restoration of anti-Iran UN sanctions, which had been lifted by the JCPOA.

The top Iranian diplomat attached to his tweet a screen shot of the Washington Post reports title that read, saying the report confirmed the E3s "appeasement" to Trump.

 

"E3 sold out remnants of #JCPOA to avoid new Trump tariffs. It wont work my friends. You only whet his appetite, Remember your high school bully?" Zarif said. "If you want to sell your integrity, go ahead. But DO NOT assume high moral/legal ground. YOU DONT HAVE IT."

Zarif had likewise criticized the European parties to the JCPOA for surrendering to the US bullying on Wednesday, saying, "Its sad that biggest economy has allowed itself to be bullied into violating own obligations. JCPOAs future depends on E3, not Iran."

Also addressing Raisina Dialogue 2020 in the Indian capital, New Delhi, Zarif emphasized that it was Iran that first triggered the JCPOAs dispute mechanism on May 10, 2018, two days after the US withdrawal from the accord.

The JCPOA was signed between Iran and six world states - namely the US, Germany, France, Britain, Russia and China - in 2015. It was also ratified in the form of a UN Security Council resolution.

However, Washingtons exit and subsequent re-imposition of sanctions against Tehran left the future of the historic deal in limbo.

Tehran remained fully compliant with the JCPOA for an entire year, waiting for the co-signatories to fulfill their end of the bargain by offsetting the impacts of Washingtons bans on the Iranian economy.

As the European parties failed to do so, Tehran moved in May 2019 to suspend its JCPOA commitments in 60-day stages under Articles 26 and 36 of the deal covering Tehrans legal rights.

Iran took its fifth and final commitment reduction step earlier this month.
