US withdrawal from JCPOA great mistake: Iraqi official

Khaled al-Asadi described US decision to quit the deal as a big mistake.

Trump’s decision will have consequences in the region and it will also be a threat to international peace and security in near future, he said.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced the country’s withdrawal from the landmark international pact, a decision which drew fierce opposition from the EU, Britain, Germany and France, which are still committed to the JCPOA.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the deal on Iran’s nuclear program, was signed between Iran and six international mediators (the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia, the United States, and France) on July 14, 2015. On January 16, 2016, the parties to the deal announced beginning of its implementation.
