Iran is ready to cooperate with the European Union on issues related to the nuclear deal it agreed with world powers in 2015, said the President Hassan Rouhani.
He made his comments at a meeting with Josep Borell, the head of the EU’s foreign service, who traveled to Iran to try to reduce tensions in the Middle East after the U.S. killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani last month.
Under the deal, Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of most international sanctions, but the US withdrew from the deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Iran.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is still ready for interaction and cooperation with the European Union for resolving issues and, whenever the opposite side completely upholds their commitments, Iran will return to its commitments”, - said Rouhani.
