in MIDLE EAST/PRESS RELEASE/REGIONS by

On Tuesday, during his speech at the third edition of the Rome MED-Mediterranean Dialogues, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not negotiable. He also underlined the fact that the EU’s support for the nuclear deal is appropriate but not sufficient and more practical measures should be taken by the bloc in this regard. Also Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in October had described the stances adopted by some European governments against recent comments made by US President Donald Trump against Iran and the JCPOA as good but insufficient. The Iranian top diplomat in his speech discussed about regional crisis and the necessity, although the Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorist group has been defeated militarily, to defeat Daesh ideology all over the word. “Terrorists should be attacked from cultural, ideological, political and financial fronts and we should restrict their access to financial resources and weaponry”, added the Iranian FM. The Rome MED-Mediterranean Dialogues is an annual high-level initiative co-organized by Italy’s Foreign Ministry and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI).
