Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said today that talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal “are now on the right track” and stressed that Tehran “is working hard” for a “good, firm and stable” deal. ”.
“Take the opportunity to be in New York [no quadro da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas], more messages were exchanged between the United States and Iran through an intermediary to bring positions closer in the negotiationsAmir-Abdollahian said, during a conversation with his Qatari counterpart, Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al-Zani.
“We believe that the works are on the right track. The form of interaction between the International Atomic Energy Agency [AIEA] and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), during the visit of the head of the IAEA [Rafael Grossi] to the country, and the meeting in Vienna are important”, reads a statement published by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, quoted by Europa Press.
Last week, Grossi confirmed the resumption of dialogue with Iran to clarify the differences between the parties on safeguards, after the agency indicated that it could not guarantee that Tehran’s nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
The IAEA does not guarantee that Iran’s program is only for peaceful purposes
At stake is a possible breach by the IAEA of the various commitments due to the decision of the United States, taken in 2018, to withdraw from the agreement signed in 2015 and re-impose sanctions on Iran.
On September 8, the Iranian authorities rejected the latest IAEA report on the situation, calling it “a repetition of previous unfounded questions.”
Furthermore, AEOI spokesman Behruz Kamalvandi reiterated that Iran’s “peaceful” nuclear program “has been the most transparent so far.”
For its part, Iran presented a counterproposal to the latest text of the European Union (EU), which is mediating differences to try to reactivate the agreement, although the United States has rejected Tehran’s demands, claiming to be working on a new document to try to resolve differences of opinion.
