They (European states) trampled upon their commitments,” Raisi told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this week.
Nuclear power, which Iran says is the purpose of its nuclear program, requires uranium to be enriched to 3% to 5%.
There is also concern that if Iran’s nuclear program is not kept in check, it could lead to further nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.
The agreement capped Iranian uranium enrichment at 3.67% in exchange for sanctions relief.
“Now, you see that the Iranians and the Americans have reached an understanding that has toned down Iran’s nuclear program, in which Europe played no role,” Vaez said.
