Iranian FM Urges Comprehensive Deal in Vienna Talks with Tangible Results
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian emphasized that any deal in the course of the Vienna talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal must be comprehensive in a way that people would feel its results tangibly.
“We will follow the path of diplomacy and talks in Vienna within the framework of the logic of negotiation and understanding,” Amirabdollahian said in a post on his Instagram page on Monday.
“We are serious about reaching a good deal. Any deal must be comprehensive so that people feel its results in a tangible way,” he added, the Foreign Ministry’s website rported.
“What the Iranian negotiating team presented in writing is fully in keeping with the Iran nuclear deal, JCPOA, and there is nothing in the documents beyond the agreement nor does the text contain any demands beyond the JCPOA,” the foreign minister noted.
“I explicitly told Mr. Borrel that the report of 90% uranium enrichment in Iran is a sheer lie,” he stated.
“The other parties are expected to come to Vienna for the continuation of talks with clear proposals and answers including the removal of sanctions and to stop their blame-game. In this case, a good deal is within reach. We will follow the path of diplomacy and talks in Vienna within the framework of the logic of negotiation and understanding,” Amirabdollahian underlined.
Envoys from Iran and the P4+1 group of countries held the seventh round of the talks in the Austrian capital last week to discuss ways for the removal of US sanctions and reviving the JCPOA.
Former US president Donald Trump left the JCPOA in May 2018 and re-imposed the anti-Iran sanctions that the deal had lifted. He also placed additional sanctions on Iran under other pretexts not related to the nuclear case as part of his “maximum pressure” campaign.
