Mogherini: US to Prove Untrustworthiness by Withdrawal from Iran N. Deal

EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini
EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini warned Washington that its possible decertification of the Iran nuclear deal would lead to other countries' distrust of the US.

Mogherini highlighted Iran’s full compliance with the 2015 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and told PBS news channel that “we have the international community strongly behind the full implementation of the deal”.

“Once that we have an agreement that is functioning, that is working, that is delivering, the worst thing you can do is trying to dismantle it, also because you would show the way to others that making deals actually is not worth it, because the message that America would send to the rest of the world is that America cannot be trusted upon,” she said.

The US, Mogherini added, would lose global trust “because a deal that America voted for just two years ago in the UN Security Council with a resolution unanimously adopted, a deal that America helped to shape enormously, enormously, would be rejected by the same country”.

“If we pass the message that with every change of administration in Washington or elsewhere deals are thrown away and renegotiated, no one would negotiate with any administration ever and any deal would be exposed to be renegotiated every term. This is not the way of making deals, not in foreign policy, not in private businesses and I think [US] President [Donald] Trump understands that perfectly well,” she said.

Mogherini noted that the international community, including the EU and other US allies, will continue to abide by the deal even if Trump chooses not to certify Iran’s compliance, something which has been confirmed eight times by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“The deal not only will hold, but the deal does not belong to one country or another. It is a UN Security Council resolution,” she said.
