Tehran (ISNA) – In a letter to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned that Washington's behavior towards the nuclear deal threatened to render the entire bargain meaningless.

According to a copy of the letter obtained by Middle East Eye, Zarif wrote, "Iran cannot afford to keep implementing the deal unilaterally while a key participant persists in its systematic violation of key provisions of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action known as the JCPOA by invoking irrelevant, extraneous and unfounded excuses".

"The agreement proved that even the most complex of global issues can be resolved through dialogue, negotiation and constructive engagement," he writes.

"I believe that the 'win-win' approach which governs the JCPOA can serve as a good model for the resolution of other disputes and international and regional crises, especially in the Middle East," Zarif went on to say.
