At the same time, European signatories to the deal, striving to preserve the accord, were recently slammed by US Vice President Mike Pence, who stated that they were “undermining the US sanctions”. A day before, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the EU’s current efforts are insufficient to maintain the Iranian Nuclear Deal.
“America’s enmity towards Iran is obvious. Our enemies’ heart is full of enmity towards the Islamic Republic our officials should not be deceived by the Europeans don’t be fooled by Europeans,” Khamenei said.
He also warned the officials and advised them “to exercise caution in dealing with Europe so that they will not be tricked by them and cause problems for the country.”
His remark comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stated on Sunday that Tehran couldn’t act as the only side that’s trying to preserve the accord, therefore, Europe needed “to get wet if it wants to swim against the dangerous tide of US unilateralism”.
