TEHRAN, Jul 20 (NNN-IRNA) – Oman presented to Iran its initiatives for reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said yesterday.
Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks, after a meeting with his visiting Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr Hamad al-Busaidi, in Tehran.
“Oman is making efforts to bring the views of all sides closer together, in order to prepare the ground for all parties to return to their commitments, under the nuclear deal,” Amir-Abdollahian said.
“In this regard, Oman presented initiatives, which we discussed with each other,” he added.
Iran signed the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with world powers in Jul, 2015, agreeing to put some curbs on its nuclear programme, in return for the removal of sanctions on the country.
The United States, however, pulled out of the deal in May, 2018, and reimposed its unilateral sanctions on Iran, prompting the latter to drop some of its nuclear commitments under the deal.
The negotiations for the revival of the JCPOA commenced in Apr, 2021, in Austria’s capital, Vienna. Despite several rounds of talks, no significant breakthrough had been achieved, since the end of the last round in Aug, 2022.
Muscat has reportedly been mediating between Tehran and Washington in recent weeks, in an effort to revive the JCPOA.– NNN-IRNA
