German FM Vows ‘Considerable Efforts’ to Protect JCPOA

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Germany’s foreign minister said his government will exert “considerable efforts” to protect the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

In a visit to Jordan, Heiko Maas called for a “firewall” between the nuclear deal and Iran’s other activities, AP reported recently.

Under the deal, Iran agreed to curbs and inspections on its nuclear program in exchange for relief from anti-Tehran sanctions.

US President Donald Trump in January set a 120-day deadline for US lawmakers and European allies to “fix” his predecessor Barack Obama's main foreign policy achievement or face a US exit.

Since the historic deal was signed by Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) in Vienna in July 2015, the IAEA has repeatedly confirmed the Islamic Republic’s compliance with its commitments under the JCPOA, but some other parties, especially the US, have failed to live up to their undertakings.
