'Whoever starts a war with Iran will not be the one to finish it' Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif
German FM Heiko Maas holds"frank" and"serious" talks with Iran's FM Javad Zarif in Tehran, with the latter warning US"cannot expect to stay safe" after its"economic war" against Tehran.
Maas, on a visit to Tehran, also insisted that the deal – which has been hanging in the balance since the United States unilaterally withdrew from it last year – was "extraordinarily important" for Europe. On May 8, Iran retaliated by saying it no longer considered itself bound to keep to the limits of stocks of heavy water and enriched uranium that were agreed as part of the deal.And it warned that it would stop by early July abiding by restrictions on the level to which it can enrich uranium and on modifications to its Arak heavy-water reactor unless other parties to the JCPOA speed up work on mitigating the effects of US sanctions.
Ahead of meeting Zarif, the German foreign minister acknowledged that the economic benefits Tehran hoped for from the deal were now "more difficult to obtain" but urged Iran to fully respect the agreement. The US sanctions reimposed last year targeted crucial parts of Iran's economy, namely the oil and banking sector.
Although launched in January, INSTEX is still not operational and has been criticised by Iranian leaders.Iran has given Europe, China and Russia until July "to make their commitments operational."
