TEHRAN – Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Monday that Europe’s political commitment to save the 2015 nuclear agreement “remains strong”.

In a post on his Instagram page, Araqchi also said negotiations will go on in order to achieve operational solutions.

It comes three months after U.S. President Donald Trump announced Washington’s exit from the nuclear deal, also known as the JCPOA, and ordered restoration of sanctions against Iran.

Meanwhile, European countries have said the JCPOA was crucial for Europe’s and the world’s security, with the European Union issuing a “blocking statute” last week to protect European businesses from the impact of the sanctions.
