Iran exercising 'maximum restraint' despite U.S. withdrawal from nuclear deal: Zarif
TOKYO - Iran is committed to its obligations under an international nuclear deal despite the U.S. withdrawal from the landmark agreement, its foreign minister said on Thursday, calling the reimposition of sanctions by Washington “unacceptable”.
Iran is exercising “maximum restraint in spite of the fact the United States withdrew from JCPOA last May,” Zarif said at the start of his meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono. An attack on four oil tankers in the Gulf on Sunday, for which no one has claimed responsibility, and Saudi Arabia’s announcement on Tuesday that armed drones hit two of its oil pumping stations have raised tensions.
“We believe that escalation by the United States is unacceptable and uncalled for,” Zarif told Kono in front of reporters before they met privately.
