The statement says the European Union expresses its deep regret over the US reinstatement of sanctions on Iran, saying the 28-nation bloc and other signatories would work on keeping financial channels with Iran open.
In another development, the British Ambassador to Tehran Rob Macair and the German Ambassador to Tehran Michael Klor-Berchtold both tweeted Farsi messages on Monday hailing the joint statement as a clear message of Europe to Iran.
