Iranian FM Blames Pause in Vienna Talks on US’ Excessive Demands
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian blamed Washington’s excessive demands for a standstill in the Vienna negotiations on the revival of the JCPOA, giving an assurance that Tehran will not allow its red lines to be crossed.
“If there is a pause in the course of the Vienna talks, it’s due to the American side’s excessive demands,” the top Iranian diplomat said in a post on his Twitter account on Monday.
He emphasized that Iran's Foreign Ministry acts "with power and logic" in order to secure the highest interests of the Iranian nation while observing the country's red lines.
Amirabdollahian said Iran and the P4+1 group of countries can reach a final agreement in Vienna "if the White House behaves realistically," Press TV reported.
Negotiations have been held in the Austrian capital since last April to restore the accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was ditched by former US president Donald Trump in May 2018.
