Stating that Washington has been sparing no effort to break down the JCPOA for the recent 4 years, Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran, on the contrary, has been doing its utmost to keep this agreement alive, Mehr News reports.
Iran is determined to continue negotiations in Vienna on the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the lifting of sanctions, intends to achieve a stable and verifiable deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in an interview with Russia’s Kommersant daily.
"Despite the lack of obligation of the West in fulfilling its promises and the lack of confidence in the approach and unconstructive policy of the White House, Iran aims to reach a good, stable and effectively verified agreement on lifting the sanctions during the talks in Vienna," he added, Urdu Point reported.
"The team of nuclear negotiators of the Islamic Republic of Iran, having goodwill, serious attitude and negotiating logic that ensures the interests and rights of the Iranian people, is ready to make every effort for this. My colleagues and I also intend to actively support our delegation and its head, Dr. Ali Bagheri, who has extensive experience in negotiations on this topic," the foreign minister emphasized.
Iran will not negotiate on topics outside the framework of the JCPOA, Amir-Abdollahian said.
"Another very important point: Iran is determined to reach a good agreement in Vienna and is ready to demonstrate its goodwill, but Tehran does not accept demands that go beyond the JCPOA. Iran will not negotiate on topics beyond the JCPOA," he added.
According to the Iranian top diplomat, the situation around the Iran nuclear deal emerged because Washington "has been sparing no effort to break down the JCPOA" for the recent four years.
