FM: Iran serious on remaining NPT issues; repetition of IAEA baseless claims unacceptable

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Aug 25, 2022

Tehran, IRNA -- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that the Islamic Republic is serious on remaining NPT issues, and is at no cost ready to yield to IAEA baseless accusations, whenever they wish in collaboration with the Zionist regime.

Amirabdollahian who was speaking for a group of Iranians residing in Tanzania, said, "Efforts aimed at termination of the sanctions and economic blossoming are pursued without tying all hopes of JCPOA.

He said that meanwhile, this policy is initially adopted because even if we assume that in a few days, or a few weeks the agreement will be reached, we will reach a definite point and everything will somehow work properly, still only the secondary sanctions will be terminated, but the initial sanctions will remain untouched according to the JCPOA framework.

"The government is determined to continue its strong economic development plan with a look at the need to terminate the sanctions," he added.

He said that we are now at a point in which the Americans have yesterday presented their written response to us through the EY coordinators. During the past months we had achieved lots of progress in compiling the text, and we transferred our latest viewpoints to the Americans.

"Over some issues there was need to emphasize more, and that is what we did," added the foreign minister.
Amirabdollahian said that Iran received the Americans' response yesterday and we are still surveying and precisely analyzing the last text on the table and the last response that we received yesterday.

"We are very serious about the remaining NPT issues, and under such conditions that all sides will return to observing their JCPOA commitments, we are not at any cost ready to hear some of the repetitious IAEA baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, that they will anytime they wish raise as chronological pain, to destabilize the conditions as Zionist regime wills," he said.

The top Iranian diplomat said that we are resisting over keeping our redlines, and hope the Americans will keep their promises seriously, and if in our surveys we will reach the satisfactory point of agreement, we hope efforts aimed at termination of the primary sanctions that remain, too, will follow.

"If our surveys will reach a point that the sum up of our team of technicians will be that that this agreement secures our interests, while observation of the redlines of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and our concerns, then the next step will be the gathering of the foreign ministers in Vienna for the negotiations and agreement, and based on the time schedule and its contents, on which our technicians are surveying, we hope to be able to reach the next phase.

Amirabdollahian reiterated that so long as observation of the redlines, and achieving of the Iranian nation's rights are not ensured, we will not have any rush in finalizing this issue.
