Stano’s stated the issue in response to statements by the new US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. He stipulated that Iran should respect its obligations before talking about the possibility of lifting sanctions.
Last week Stano had also underscored that maintaining the JCPOA required maximum diplomacy.
"The European Union is ready to work with the United States on the Iran issue. In particular, with the change of the US government, it is essential that we find a way for the United States to return to the JCPOA because the agreement is a key element for the world,” he told reporters on Thursday.
He also said that we must find a way for Iran to return to the full implementation of its obligations in the JCPOA.
The European official noted that resolving the issue was "not an easy task," adding that all 27 EU member states issued a statement last month "expressing their support for intensive diplomacy to facilitate the return of the United States to the JCPOA and for Iran to fulfill its commitments under the nuclear deal."
In 2018 the United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement, while Iran deliberately reduced its commitment to the agreement.
