TEHRAN, Aug 27 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian foreign minister stressed, Tehran considers the resolution of the “fake and politically-motivated” safeguards issues, as a vital necessity, for reaching an agreement in the talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website reported yesterday.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks, in a phone conversation with the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, on Thursday, in which the two sides also discussed certain regional and international issues, and the ongoing Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, according to the ministry’s website.
Amir-Abdollahian noted that, Iran has, in practice, proven that, its will for achieving a “robust and lasting” agreement is serious and real.
He added that, Iran received on Wednesday the American side’s response to Tehran’s views on the European Union (EU)’s proposed draft of a potential nuclear agreement and is reviewing and assessing it.
Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said on Thursday that, the UN chief emphasised in the call that, it is very important that all parties work towards the resumption of the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Iran submitted its written response to the EU’s draft of a potential agreement a few days later, and received on Wednesday, through the EU, the U.S. government’s response to Tehran’s views about the resolution of the remaining outstanding issues in the nuclear talks.– NNN-IRNA
