EU ‘to make sure all sides fully implement Iran deal’

The European Union says it will make sure that the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six other countries “will continue to be fully implemented by all, in all its parts.”

The EU’s foreign policy director, Federica Mogherini, made the remarks on the sidelines of the Regional Security and Sustainable Development Conference in the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Friday.

Mogherini said the agreement was “a major achievement of European and international multilateral diplomacy that is delivering.”

This is while the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been consistently verifying Iranian compliance.

Citing that verification, all the other parties to the deal have been working to prevent the collapse of the deal and have been involved in efforts to convince US lawmakers not to undermine the agreement now that Trump has kicked a decision with his “decertification” to US Congress.

Mogherini recently visited Washington to personally lobby with the US lawmakers.
