Germany reiterates full commitment to Iran nuclear deal, regrets US withdrawal

Germany has reiterated its full commitment to a multilateral nuclear agreement signed between Iran and major world powers in 2015, saying the United States’ move to pull out of the agreement is "regrettable."

In a post on its Twitter page on Monday, Germany’s mission to the United Nations said Berlin “remains fully committed to preservation & full implementation” of the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorses the accord.

It added that the US “withdrawal from the “JCPOA & its re-imposed sanctions [against Iran] are regrettable.”

The mission further expressed Germany's concern about measures by Iran "contrary to key nuclear-related provisions in JCPOA," referring to Tehran's suspension of some of its commitments under the deal, in response to the failure of the other signatories to live up to their obligations stipulated in the accord.
