Tehran (ISNA) – EU foreign policy chief stressed that Europe will continue to support Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The European Union will continue supporting the full implementation of the Iran nuclear deal by all possible means, as it is necessary to maintain this dialogue in order to avoid tension in the region, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Monday.

"We continue to fully support the nuclear deal with Iran and its full implementation. We will have also today at the margins of Foreign Affairs Council a meeting between myself and the foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom to discuss how to best support the full implementation of the nuclear deal with Iran that for us remains the key pillar of security in our region," she added.

"We will continue to support it as much as we can with all our instruments and with all political will. And this is very well known both in Washington and in Iran," Mogherini told reporters.

One year after US abrupt withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, Tehran said that it had partially discontinued its commitments under the landmark accord and gave Europe 60 days to ensure Iran's interests were protected under the agreement.
