Iran’s foreign minister warned on Friday that a US pullout from the international nuclear deal would be met with “measures” that would be “very unfavorable" for the US. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal was signed in 2015 between Tehran and six world powers, including the US. Speaking upon his arrival in New York for a six-day trip, Zarif said: “The measures to be undertaken by Iran and the response of the international community to [the] US leaving the JCPOA will be very unfavorable for the Americans.” The Iranian FM will attend the UN’s two-day High Level Meeting on Peace building and Sustaining Peace, scheduled to start on Tuesday. “If the European countries want to preserve the deal, they have to make it sustainable for Iran,” he was quoted as saying. Zarif reiterated that European countries need to impose pressure on the US in order to compel and encourage it to implement what it pledged under the deal, adding: “Unfortunately, it hasn’t been doing that.” The minister said that in all events, Tehran would make no “concessions” and that any suggestion to renegotiate the deal would “not get a positive answer” from Iran. On the UN session, Zarif said one of the reasons behind his trip to New York is to participate in a special meeting of the UN General Assembly on sustaining peace. He said that he would outline during the meeting Iran’s attitudes and proposals on holding dialogue and reaching understandings in the region. During his stay in New York, Zarif is scheduled to meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and some of his counterparts. He will also deliver a speech at the US Council on Foreign Relations.
