TEHRAN, Dec. 22 (MNA) – Iran’s deputy foreign minister said in Paris on Thursday that JCPOA is only related to the nuclear issue and has nothing to do with Iran’s missile defense.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi made the remarks in a panel which was held at ‘International Relations Institute,’ after meeting Secretary-General of ‎France’s ministry of foreign affairs Maurice Gourdault-Montagne in Paris on Wednesday.

Referring to a nuclear accord as an important diplomatic achievement in resolving international issues, deputy foreign minister argued that the deal is merely limited to the nuclear issue and had nothing to do with other issues.

Araghchi was in Paris to take part in the fourth round of Iran-France political talks, focused on developing bilateral relations in various political, economic and cultural ‎spheres, as well as on discussing the regional and international issues, especially developments in the Persian Gulf and the Middle ‎East.
