(MENAFN) German Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared that Germany and China will stand by the current nuclear accord with Iran, even as the US has withdrawn and expects its European allies to follow suit.
The chancellor made the remarks after Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei issued a set of demands to European powers in which he voiced skepticism that they would remain committed to the 2015 deal.
Moreover, Khamenei also warned that the country would presume its nuclear activities if they failed to act swiftly.
He said: "The heads of European countries say different things. For our economy, we cannot rely on JCPOA and the Europeans."
