“We hope that Iran will return to the full implementation of the transaction ... The president himself will discuss this topic with representatives of Germany and the UK this week, because the unity of position of the European troika is very important,” said Le Drian.

Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, during a telephone conversation with Macron, said that if European countries comply with the terms of the nuclear deal, Tehran intends to return to its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA).

In addition, the Iranian leader at a government meeting said that Tehran would further reduce its nuclear deal obligations if necessary.
