Iranian FM Rejects Reports Claiming US Not Committed to Nuclear Deal

TEHRAN (Sputnik) — Several media reports emerged claiming that the United States was not showing sufficient commitment to the deal.

"If we believed such rumors for the past ten years, we would not have been able to achieve success," Zarif said, commenting on these allegations.

"There is every evidence proving that all sides are really trying to implement this agreement," Zarif said at a press conference with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Zarif and Steinmeier alongside representatives of other countries and international organizations are taking part in a meeting of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) in Tehran. The participants are expected to discuss the Iranian nuclear deal, as well as the country’s role in the region and the structure of security of the Middle East.

On July 14, Iran and the P5+1 group of international mediators, comprising Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, reached a historic agreement in the Austrian capital of Vienna, obliging Tehran to guarantee the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is anticipated to provide a final assessment of Tehran’s compliance with the agreement by December 15.
