Iran said on Monday it considers the text of JCPOA as the framework of Iran’s commitments in nuclear issue as well as the other side’s obligations.
Speaking in his weekly press conference on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh briefed on the latest Iranian foreign policy developments and answered a number of questions put forward by the journalists.
Asked about the latest developments in the process of sanctions removal talks in Vienna, the Iranian senior diplomat said that negotiations in the last three weeks have made significant progress in all areas.
He went on to say that the process of some issues has been slow due to the inaction or lack of initiative and creativity of the other side.
Saying that all parties must ratify Iran’s demands in the Vienna talks, Khatibzadeh added that Iran will not accept anything more or less than the text of the JCPOA.
“If the other parties respond correctly to Iran’s natural rights and proposed texts, we can reach a lasting and reliable agreement quickly”, he also said, adding that there is no need for setting artificial deadlines and decisions must be made.
Peaceful nuclear technology which is the definitive right of the Islamic Republic of Iran will remain unchanged, the diplomat asserted.
Remarkable issues remain in the issue of removing sanctions, he also said and noted that over the past three weeks, the Iranian delegation has submitted the written proposed text to the other parties and they are waiting for a response.
Khatibzadeh also advised all parties, especially the United States, to make their decisions when they return to Vienna from their capitals.
He also expressed hope to reach a good result in the field of removal of the sanctions as soon as possible.
