Islamic Republic of Iran has lived up to all its commitments within the framework of JCPOA, the issue of which has repeatedly been confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he said, adding, “EU decision on the unilateral decision of the United States to disturb JCPOA will show that dialogue and politics can be relied upon in the international arena, so that countries should take a different path in this regard.”
