MNA � Commenting on the US withdrawal from the JCPOA Nathalie Tocci, special adviser to the EU�s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini says if she were Iran she would want to pull out of the deal.

Answering a question about possibility of Iran�s withdrawal from the JCPOA after end of its 60 day ultimatum, she told RT, �I think, and all I can say about this is, putting myself in Iranian shoes, and if I were an Iranian decision maker I would probably be making these threats rightly so. I mean, it's clear that if one side of a contract lives up to their commitments, meaning Iran and the other side, meaning the other E3+3, and obviously this includes Russia as well, it's only fair for one side to say, �Hang on, you know, if you continue acting this way I'm going to pull out�. Now having said that, I also think that it would be actually fairly irrational for Iran to leave the JCPOA before 2020 simply because it is basically a year and a few months time before there could be a change in the United States��

Tocci went on to say, �If I were Iran I would probably not stick with the JCPOA.�

Commenting on the legitimacy of Iran�s acts she said Tehran�s expectations from the EU are absolutely legitimate.
