Europe’s Time to Save JCPOA Not Endless

Europe needs an extended timeframe to implement its strategies for preserving Iran’s benefits from the 2015 nuclear deal, but this period cannot be too lengthy and will definitely not be endless, a top diplomat said. 
In an interview with IRNA, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi noted that enormous pressure from the US and serious technical and legal complications are impeding the European Union’s efforts to shield Iran from sanctions. 
“Europeans have not been able to take practical measures, but we are not supposed to wait forever either … We will take the right decisions in due course,” he said. 
According to Araqchi, Iran is informed of EU’s endeavors to remove the obstacles and has, therefore, chosen to allow it more time to operationalize its envisioned mechanisms.
