“I take note of today's US statement regarding the so-called UN sanctions restoration mechanism in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2231 ... The United States unilaterally terminated its participation in the JCPOA ... cannot be considered as a member state of the JCPOA for the purposes of possible revision of the sanctions stipulated by the resolution, "- said in a statement on the website of the EU's foreign policy service.
Borrell also pledged to take all measures to maintain and fully implement the JCPOA by all parties.
“The JCPOA remains a key element of the global architecture for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, contributing to the strengthening of regional security,” he stressed.
