EU to maintain economic cooperation with Iran despite US sanctionsEPA-EFE / LISI NIESNER EU to maintain economic cooperation with Iran despite US sanctions
The European Union and member states who are signatories of the Iran nuclear deal criticized the United States for deciding to pull out of the agreement and re-impose the sanctions against Tehran. "We deeply regret the re-imposition of sanctions by the US, due to the latter's withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)," EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and Heiko Maas, Jean-Yves Le Drian Jeremy Hunt, the foreign ministers of Germany, France and the United Kingdom, said in a statement on Monday.
The European signatories of the JCPOA added they are committed to preserving the deal as it is a "matter of respecting international agreements and a matter of international security." The EU states also noted they intend to work on "the preservation and maintenance of effective financial channels with Iran, and the continuation of Iran's export of oil and gas" despite the US embargo.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed Washington's sanctions against Iran will come into effect later in the day. Earlier, the US threatened all countries with sanctions in case they don't completely stop buying Iranian oil by November.
