Iran is calling for more EU support to save the nuclear agreement, especially more investment from Europe.
Although Europe is politically committed to the agreement, major European corporations want to withdraw from the country, criticizing Iran’s foreign ministers.
Iran considers the political support of the European Union to save the nuclear agreement to be insufficient. This was made clear by Foreign Minister Mohammed Dschawad Sarif at a meeting with the EU Commissioner for Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete. The EU must take more practical steps to increase its investment in Iran, “said Sarif according to Iran’s state news agency. The EU’s commitment to the nuclear agreement is not in line with the announcement by large European companies of the possibility of withdrawing from Iran.

Several foreign companies have suspended their Iran business for the time being to await the results of the talks within the EU. The French oil company Total, for example, had announced last week to end a 4.8 billion dollar investment project in Iran, the company should not receive an okay from Washington.

With the departure of the United States from the Agreement, public expectations for the EU had risen to save the achievements of the agreement, Sarif said. After the US exit from the nuclear agreement, the government in Tehran wants to receive guarantees from the EU within a few weeks to preserve the economic benefits that the country had promised to renounce the continuation of its military nuclear programme.

The remaining signatories of the Iranian nuclear agreement want to deal with the government in Tehran on Friday with the further action after the withdrawal of the United States. “At the request of Iran, the Joint Committee will come together on Friday without the United States and discuss the consequences of the American withdrawal,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on state television. We will also discuss how the remaining states could continue to stick to the agreement. The chief of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency Ali Akbar Salehi had threatened on Saturday with the resumption of uranium enrichment, should the treaty burst.
