Iranian President Rouhani warned European countries not to take actions that undermine the 2015 US nuclear deal.

"Do you want to make the same mistake? ... I emphasize that if Europe makes a mistake and violates the agreement, they will be responsible for their actions," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani posted. on his official website, President.Ir, yesterday, asserting that the US was wrong to leave the Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action (JCPOA), and sending a European warning message.

Britain, France and Germany on January 14 activated the JCPOA's dispute resolution mechanism, formally accusing Iran of failing to comply with the agreement. The actions of three European countries could inspire Iran to further punishments from the United Nations. Russia, another member of the JCPOA, objected to the move, warning that the activation of a potential mechanism could prevent the nuclear deal from continuing.

Since the United States withdrew from the JCPOA, Iran has repeatedly broken the terms of the agreement, but has insisted its nuclear program is only for peace. "Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, no matter how good our relationship with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whether or not there is a nuclear deal," Rouhani added.

JCPOA was signed by Iran with six powers including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China in 2015 after 15 years of diplomatic negotiations. Under the deal, Iran will restrict nuclear activities in exchange for reducing international sanctions.

U.S. President Donald Trump in 2018 announced his withdrawal from the agreement because of "ineffectiveness", and implemented a campaign to exert maximum pressure on Iran by imposing multiple sanctions on the country, despite opposition. of the remaining countries in the agreement.

Iran on Thursday announced it would continue to enrich uranium unlimitedly and based on its technical needs. Leaders of Britain, France and Germany immediately issued a joint statement calling for the Islamic Republic to strictly abide by the 2015 nuclear agreement and curb violence.
