French foreign affairs spokeswoman Agnes Romatet-Espagne called the agreement a “solid, robust and verifiable tool guaranteeing that Iran will not get nuclear weapons.”
In Germany, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said: “We consider this deal to be an important instrument to prevent Iran's nuclear armament.”
