The 2015 nuclear deal will most likely collapse, if the European Union refuses to bear the costs of rescuing the international accord, a senior diplomat said.
"Political support is not sufficient. Europe must pay a price for saving JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], otherwise it will not stay alive," Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned during a round of political consultations between Iran and Norway in Tehran on Monday.
The nuclear agreement signed between Iran and the six world powers has been on shaky ground ever since the United States unilaterally walked away and reimposed sanctions last year.
Tehran has remained committed to the deal and other parties have pledged to save the deal, with the EU being the most active in taking measures to protect Iran's financial benefits.
