GENEVA: An emergency meeting with parties to Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with major powers was"constructive", Iranian official Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday , but said Tehran would continue to reduce its nuclear commitments if Europeans failed to salvage the pact.
"As we have said, we will continue to reduce our commitments to the deal until Europeans secure Iran's interests under the deal," Araqchi said after the meeting. The Europeans say breach of the agreement by Iran would escalate confrontation at a time when Tehran and Washington are at risk of a miscalculation that could lead to war.However, their efforts to protect trade with Iran against the U.S. sanctions have yielded nothing concrete so far. Earlier this month, Tehran followed through on its threat to increase its nuclear activities in breach of the agreement.
So far, Iran has breached the limit of its enriched uranium stockpile as well as enriching uranium beyond a 3.67 per cent purity limit set by its deal with major powers, defying a warning by Europeans to stick to the deal despite US sanctions.SANCTIONS
