EU Foreign Affairs Head Federica Mogherini insisted the bloc will stand by the Iran nuclear accord. bluntly condemned by US President-elect Donald Trump. because it serves Europe`s security needs.
She said it is proof that diplomacy works and delivers. The European Union will continue to work for the respect and implementation of this extremely important deal. most of all for our security.
Trump has repeatedly blasted the nuclear accord with Iran as one of the dumbest deals I have ever seen. claiming it will not stop Tehran getting “atomic weapons”.
He repeated the charge in interviews with top European newspapers on Sunday when he also cast fresh doubt on NATO`s role and the EU`s future after Brexit.
Mogherini said she would not comment on Trump`s remarks. but claimed — on the first anniversary of the accord she helped negotiate — that much had been accomplished.
The agreement has delivered both on the nuclear-related commitments Iran took and on the firm determination of the international community to fully implement this deal. she said.
As far as the EU was concerned. the accord had resulted in increased trade and economic ties. which is really significant. she added.
