Tehran:Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said that his country was open to talks with the European Union (EU) on possible ways to save the 2015 landmark nuclear deal between Tehran and major world powers, the media reported.
"We believe that the nuclear deal served the interests of the region and the world and the US move harms all (nations) and even the American people," media quoted Rouhani as saying in a meeting with Dutch foreign minister Stef Blok on Saturday.
"Over the past 21 months since the US exit from the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), the EU has unfortunately failed to take effective steps in line with mutual relations and the fulfilment of its commitments under the JCPOA," he added.
