TEHRAN: Iran's atomic agency chief hit out on Sunday at European powers, saying their broken promises gave the Islamic republic little choice but to scale back its commitments under a nuclear deal.

"The European Union was supposed to be the replacement of the US but, unfortunately, they failed to act on their promises," Salehi told reporters."We heard the EU spokesperson say they would be committed to the JCPOA as long as Iran is," he said, referring to the deal by its formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Salehi shows nuclear equipment to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during"nuclear technology day" in Tehran earlier this year. "The channels for dialogue are still open, including today ... Iran must give up such actions," said Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. The Elysee palace in Paris said Macron and Putin agreed"all concerned parties" should take"political decisions ... to ease tensions".Iran has taken a series of retaliatory steps to reduce compliance with the deal since the US withdrawal in May 2018.
