On Monday, Britain, France, Germany and the European Union said Iran's decision to restart activities at Fordow was "inconsistent" with the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran, in turn, accused the European nations of hypocrisy on Tuesday for criticising Tehran while failing to fulfil their commitments of relief from US sanctions.
