TEHRAN, Nov 4 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said, Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are working towards the achievement of a “good and robust” agreement.
Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a phone call with EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell.
Amir-Abdollahian referred to the efforts that are aimed at addressing differences between Iran and the IAEA. In a report, IAEA accused Iran of its “failure to provide technically credible explanations for nuclear activities, at three undeclared sites,” a claim that Tehran has repeatedly rejected.
Noting the talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, Amir-Abdollahian reiterated that, Iran is ready to achieve a “good, strong and lasting agreement.”
Iran has presented its viewpoints with a positive approach through the EU to the American side, he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, Amir-Abdollahian said, an Iranian delegation will travel to Vienna in the coming days, for talks on enhancing cooperation with the IAEA.
Iran signed the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with world major countries in July, 2015, agreeing to curb its nuclear programme in return for removing sanctions on the country. However, former U.S. President, Donald Trump, pulled Washington out of the agreement and reimposed unilateral sanctions on Tehran, prompting the latter to drop some of its commitments under the pact.
The talks on the JCPOA’s revival began in Apr, 2021, in Vienna. No breakthrough was achieved after the latest round of talks in early Aug.– NNN-IRNA
