The JCPOA, short for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is an international agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and six world powers, namely China, France, Russia, Britain, the US and Germany. Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters upon arrival in New York City on Friday that the reaction from Iran and the international community will be unpleasant for the Americans. He travelled to New York to attend a UN General Assembly meeting over peacekeeping. Zarif noted that if the European countries want to preserve the deal, they have to make it sustainable for Iran. The Iranian minister added that the efforts to renegotiate the nuke deal will not get a positive answer from Iran which would make no concessions.
