European signatories are now reportedly triggering a dispute mechanism in the accord over Tehran's suspension of compliance.
France, Germany and the U.K. will inform the EU on Tuesday that they intend to set off the mechanism, Reuters reported citing sources. It's not yet clear what the dispute mechanism would entail, but EU diplomats told Reuters it would be aimed at saving the deal, also known as the JCPOA . The news agency stated that the mechanism can also lead to a reimposition of sanctions.
Iranian officials noted that the country would still work with International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, and held that while compliance was suspended, the deal was not officially dead and that the rollbacks could be reversed if heavy U.S. sanctions on the country were lifted.
