TEHRAN, May 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s President, Hassan Rouhani, said yesterday that, the “main agreement” to revive the 2015 nuclear deal has already been reached in the Vienna talks, and Iran’s counterparts have agreed on the need to lift “all main sanctions.”
“The other parties agree that they will lift all major sanctions, including sanctions on oil, petrochemicals, shipping, insurance, and the banking sector,” Rouhani said.
He said, his administration has “done the job,” and only some remaining “details” are being discussed to reach a “final agreement” between Iran and the P4+1 (Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany).
On Wednesday, the fourth round of negotiations of the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) ended in Vienna, and the participants agreed to reconvene next week.
The U.S. administration, under former President Trump, withdrew from the JCPOA in May, 2018, and unilaterally re-imposed sanctions on Iran.
In response to the U.S. moves, Iran gradually stopped implementing parts of its JCPOA commitments from May, 2019. However, the incumbent U.S. President, Joe Biden, vowed to return to the deal and ease sanctions.
The JCPOA Joint Commission began to meet in offline format on Apr 6, in Vienna, to continue previous discussions, in view of a possible return of the United States to the JCPOA and on how to ensure the full and effective implementation of the JCPOA.– NNN-IRNA
