Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has stated that Europe would continue to implement its commitments under the nuclear deal if US President Donald Trump decides to abandon it.

In an interview with Khabar Online conducted by Al-Monitor contributor Saeid Jafari on Sept. 5, Zarif addressed the issue of what Europe would do if the Trump administration attempts to kill the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed between Iran and the six world powers.
