Iran's police chief Brigadier General Hossein Ashtari said on Saturday that about two million pilgrims have arrived in Iraq through the four Iranian border points to participate in the ceremony of Arbaeen on October 19.

Spokesman for Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said Tehran will take next steps regarding reducing nuclear commitments if other sides don’t implement their commitments under Iran’s nuclear deal.

European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the remaining parties to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, have expressed their commitment to preserving the agreement, stressing, however, that there are increasing difficulties ahead.
