Europeans countries have started a formal dispute mechanism over Iran’s flaws of key points of the 2015 nuclear deal to save this historical agreement.
Iran started production of enriched uranium for its reactors and nuclear weapons.
Iran’s point of view is that the U.S has already broken this agreement in 2018, by parting itself from this deal, so now Iran is not bound to follow this deal.
But other three major European power refused to accept Iran’s argument .
They said they were acting “in good faith with the overarching objective of preserving” the deal, which saw Iran agree to limit its sensitive activities and allow in inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.
President Donald Trump reinstated US sanctions to force Iran to negotiate a new agreement that would place indefinite curbs on its nuclear programme and also halt its development of ballistic missiles. But Iran has so far refused.
The other parties to the deal – the three European powers plus China and Russia – have tried to keep it alive. But the sanctions have caused Iran’s oil exports to collapse and the value of its currency to plummet, and sent its inflation rate soaring.
Iran insists that its nuclear programme is exclusively for peaceful purposes.
