Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the European signatories to the nuclear deal with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA], must provide Tehran with necessary guarantees about its continued implementation.

The Imam made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his cabinet in Tehran on Sunday.

The meeting mostly focused on economic problems facing the country with Imam Khamenei offering ways on how to overcome them.

In the meeting, the Imam noted that drawing up a “stable economic roadmap” was needed to solve the country’s economic problems, emphasizing that solution of those problems must not be made conditional on the continuation of the JCPOA.

“Of course the European sides [to the JCPOA] are obligated to provide necessary guarantees with regard to the JCPOA, but the country’s economy must not be tied to this issue,” the Imam stressed.

Earlier in May, US President Donald Trump announced that Washington was walking away from the nuclear agreement and that he planned to reinstate US nuclear sanctions on Iran and impose "the highest level" of economic bans on the Islamic Republic.

Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.

Since Trump pulled Washington out of the nuclear deal, European countries have been scrambling to ensure that Iran gets enough economic benefits to persuade it to stay in the deal. The remaining parties vowed to stay in the accord.
