Leaders of Britain, France and Germany issued a joint statement urging Iran to strictly abide by the 2015 nuclear agreement and curb violence.

"We call on Iran to abandon all inappropriate measures and to return to full compliance with the nuclear agreement," French President Emmanuel Macron's office yesterday released a joint statement of the leaders of Britain, France and Germany, referring to the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (JCPOA) with Iran.

The three countries called on Iran to refrain from violent action or the proliferation of nuclear weapons, confirming their readiness to join Tehran on agendas to maintain stability in the region.

The joint statement came after Iran on Thursday announced it would continue to enrich uranium indefinitely and based on its technical needs. Tehran said it would not comply with the JCPOA nuclear limits such as regulations for the development of uranium enriched centrifuges, uranium enrichment levels, the amount of allowed uranium reserves, or nuclear research and development activities. other.

Since the United States withdrew from JCPOA in 2018, Iran has repeatedly broken its commitment in this deal in response. Tensions between the two countries were exacerbated after Washington airstrikes killed General Qassem Soleimani, prompting Tehran to retaliate with a missile strike on the base of US troops stationed in Iraq.

Iran is also suffering harsh criticism from the international community after admitting the wrong shot of a Ukrainian Boeing 737-800, killing 176 people. General Amirali Hajizadeh, commander of the space forces of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), confirmed that he will take full responsibility for the incident.
