TEHRAN, Apr 11 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said yesterday, the U.S. is seeking to impose new conditions, for lifting anti-Iran sanctions.
“In the past two or three weeks, the American side has made excessive demands that contradict some paragraphs of the text, prepared for a possible agreement in the recent Vienna talks,” Amir-Abdollahian said, adding, the U.S. wants to propose and impose new conditions, outside the negotiating framework, in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
If the U.S. government has good intentions, it should take practical and concrete steps in the negotiations, such as, releasing some of Iran’s frozen assets or lifting sanctions, the Iranian top diplomat noted.
Iran will continue the path of diplomacy to reach a dignified, lasting and good agreement, he said, adding, “Iran stands and will stand on its red lines.”
Since Apr, 2021, several rounds of talks have been held in Vienna, between Iran and the remaining JCPOA parties, namely China, Russia, Britain, France plus Germany, to revive the 2015 deal.
Iran insists on securing guarantees that the succeeding U.S. governments would not abandon the deal again, and having the sanctions lifted in a verifiable manner.– NNN-IRNA
