Pointing to the importance of President Hassan Rouhani’s upcoming visit to Switzerland and Austria, Foreign Ministry spokesman said in the current situation, the visit can have a positive impact on Iran’s relations with the two European countries as well as the 27-nation European Union.
In an interview with ISNA on Saturday, Bahram Qassemi said, “Given the continuation of US President Donald Trump’s hostility and his withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, “we are currently in a situation where other members of the JCPOA and EU should prove their commitment to the nuclear deal and secure Iran’s interests enshrined in the international agreement”.
JCPOA is the official name of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal form which the US withdrew in early May. The other signatories of the deal, namely China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany, have said they are trying to salvage the deal.
