Iran Calls JCPOA Parties For Immediate “Political Decisions” In Vienna Talks

TEHRAN– A senior Iranian diplomat said, it is possible to make a successful conclusion in the Vienna talks, on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal, if relevant parties make the right political decisions immediately, to lift U.S. sanctions, Iranian state-run Press TV reported, yesterday.

A successful conclusion “is not out of reach, if the United States and other members of the JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) show good faith in the negotiations, and make the necessary and right political decisions to immediately lift the cruel and inhumane sanctions,” Mohammad Reza Ghaebi, head of Iran’s permanent mission to international organisations in Vienna, was quoted by Press TV as saying.

“Iran has repeatedly announced that, it will reverse its remedial measures, if the other parties return to the full and verifiable implementation of their obligations, within the framework of the JCPOA,” he told the meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday.

The Iranian envoy stressed that several IAEA reports have shown “transparency in Iran’s nuclear programme and activities.”

Since Apr, 2021, several rounds of talks have been held in Vienna between Iran and major parties to the deal, in a bid to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, from which former U.S. President, Donald Trump, withdrew unilaterally in 2018, and reinstated sanctions against Iran. Tehran retaliated by scrapping some of its commitments. The U.S. has been indirectly involved in the Vienna talks.
