After a few hours from the speech given yesterday by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which imposed strict conditions for the conclusion of a "new agreement" with Teheran, Federica Mogherini, head of European diplomacy reiterated that there is "no alternative solution "The nuclear agreement with Iran and the international community expects all parties to keep their promises made more than two years ago.
In a statement published last night, Mogherini stated that "the intervention of the secretary (State) Pompeo has not shown how the withdrawal from the joint action plan (JCPOA, the official name of the Iranian nuclear agreement, ed) has made or will make the region safer, compared to the threat of nuclear proliferation, or how it will put us in a better position to influence Iran's conduct in areas beyond the reach of JCPOA. There is no alternative solution to JCPOA ".
The EU High Representative concluded by stating that "The European Union is committed and will continue to commit itself to the continued and effective implementation of the JCPOA until Iran fulfills all its nuclear-related commitments, as it has done so far. The international community expects all parties to keep the promises they have made more than two years ago, "insisted the head of European diplomacy by addressing Washington.
From Buenos Aires, where he attended the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas announced for his part that he will travel to Washington this week to talk to Pompey. The minister said he was not surprised by the statements of the secretary of state, before reiterating the European position, already expressed by Mogherini: "We do not see a better alternative right now, we think that without this agreement, we will run the risk that Iran resumes its nuclear program ".
