Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Monday the diplomatic efforts to save the agreement are underway, however noting that “should the efforts bear no results and the European parties to the deal [the UK, France and Germany] fail to live up to their commitments, Tehran will take the third step in reducing its obligations under the deal more firmly."
The spokesman referred to the Islamic Republic’s active diplomacy in the past weeks regarding the issue, saying that parallel with the 60-day ultimatum to the Europeans for saving the deal, Iran has been preparing itself to take the third step if necessary, and it will not hesitate to do so.
However, he said if the European countries take proper action to live up to their own obligations, Iran may cancel its decision to take the third step.
