Tehran: Iran has put up proposed ideas in "both substance and form" to the other sides of the Vienna nuclear talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, to pave the way for the quick conclusionof the talks, Iran's top negotiator said.
The Iranian government is willing to wrap up negotiations quickly, according to Ali Bagheri Kani, who is also the country's deputy foreign minister for political affairs, who stated this via Twitter on Sunday. The nuclear negotiations, which began in the Austrian capital in April 2021, were intended to "address the damaging difficult situation generated by the US unilateral and illegitimate departure" from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement in 2018, he said.
To offer the US another chance to demonstrate its "good faith" and "act responsibly," he assured that Iran is cooperating closely with its JCPOA partners, particularly Josep Borrell, the European Union's chief of foreign policy and coordinator of the JCPOA Joint Commission.
In exchange for the lifting of sanctions, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear programme when it signed the JCPOA with major world powers in July 2015. However, former US President Donald Trump withdrew Washington from the accord in May 2018 and reinstituted unilateral sanctions against Tehran, which caused the latter to renege on certain of its agreement-related obligations, according as reports.
The talks on resurrecting the JCPOA were interrupted in March of this year due to political disputes between Tehran and Washington. They had started in April 2021 in the capital of Austria. The negotiations resumed in late June in Doha, Qatar's capital, after a three-month break, but they were unsuccessful in resolving the issues.
