Iranian official: New European sanctions would affect nuclear deal
BEIRUT - Any new European sanctions against Iran will have a direct effect on the nuclear deal struck between world powers and Tehran, Iran's deputy foreign minister said Friday, according to state media.
"In case some European countries are following steps to put non-nuclear sanctions against Iran in order to please the American president, they will be making a big mistake and they will see the direct result of that on the nuclear deal," Abbas Araqchi said, according to state media.
"It's better that European countries continue their current action to persuade America to keep its promises in the nuclear deal and for that country to effectively execute the deal in all its parts with good will and in a productive atmosphere."
