MNA – Spokesman for Iranian Parliament National Security Commission Naghavi Hosseini has said that the European companies' withdrawal from Iran shows a huge gap between Europeans' words and actions.


“The Europeans have shown that they are following the US path. That’s why their major companies are abandoning Iran under the pretext of US sanctions,” Hossein Naghavi Hosseini told Mehr News Agency on Saturday.

Naghavi Hosseini said that the European companies’ withdrawal from their projects in Iran shows that there is a big difference between their words and actions.

He referred to the suspension of discussing Iran’s accession to the International Convention for the Suppression of Financing of Terrorism (CFT) at the Parliament for two months, saying that the negotiators must use passing the piece of legislation as a political leverage to put pressures on the E3 to provide guarantees to secure Iran’s interest in the nuclear deal.

He added that the Europeans’ way of dealing with Iran’s demands has proven that all those inside the country who still are optimist about the success of the nuclear deal are wrong, calling the other side an enemy who should be treated the way they are.
