Austria: Iran deal will stand without US

Austria’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) says the Iran nuclear deal will continue to stand even if the United States, which is a party to the agreement, withdraws from it.

In an exclusive interview with Iran’s IRNA news agency, which was published on Tuesday, Jan Kickert denounced as “wrong and unjustifiable” a possible move by the current US administration to “decertify” Iran’s compliance with the deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The administration of US President Trump, which took over a year after the JCPOA had come into force, has repeatedly attacked the agreement.
