Zarif: EU Support for Nuclear Deal Better Than Expected

Support from Europe to preserve the 2015 nuclear deal in the face of US pressure has been better than expected and Iran will be "a little more patient" to see what the practical results will be, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.
"The Europeans probably made better commitments than anybody expected," he said in an interview with BBC in New York, which was published on Wednesday.
His comments came days after the European Union announced during the UN General Assembly that it would set up a special financial mechanism to allow companies to get around the sanctions reinstated by US President Donald Trump who abandoned the nuclear agreement earlier this year to fulfill his vested political agenda.
