"We are following very closely all the developments on the deal... reminding that it is a non-proliferation deal, which has been endorsed by the UN Security Council, that it’s working, delivering as it has been verified eight times by the international agency for atomic energy,” a Commission spokeswoman told a news conference in Brussels.

"It is a durable, long-term solution to the Iranian nuclear issue which gives all sides the necessary assurances and we expect all sides to stick to their commitments under the deal,” she added.

Despite the European Union and the whole world support for Iran nuclear deal (also known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), a senior administration official told Reuters on Thursday that the US President Donald Trump is expected to announce soon that he will decertify the landmark agreement.

Trump faces an Oct. 15 deadline for certifying that Iran is complying with the deal’s terms.

According to the nuclear deal, Iran accepted additional imitations on its peaceful nuclear program in exchange for removal of its sanctions.
