And she hopes they'll act with reason.

Zarif added, "Some European countries started a wrong move in the board of governors with the support of the United States. We presented, through our ambassador in Vienna, an explanation to the council members, and we hope that they adopt reason, and if this is not achieved then we have mechanisms."
