Larijani, Austrian Official Discuss JCPOA

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said European countries should offer their plans for the full implementation of the Iran 2015 nuclear deal following the withdrawal of the United States. Larijani made the call in a meeting with Andreas Schieder, the parliamentary leader of the Social Democratic Party in Austria's National Council, in Tehran on Sunday, ICANA reported. The speaker reemphasized that European countries must strive to implement the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in the best possible manner. “Europe must present its approach and plans for the full implementation of the JCPOA,” the lawmaker told the senior Austrian official. For his part, the Austrian official said his country, as a member  of the European Union, supports the nuclear accord. He added that Vienna does not believe that the survival  of the JCPOA depends on the United States and is making efforts to help implement the international nuclear agreement.
