In Vienna, we only talk to the P4 + 1, but since we have a serious will to negotiate and practical readiness to reach an agreement, we are optimistic about the future, but because we do not trust the other side, we are not naive.

The first agenda was a report on the state of implementation of the JCPOA, and the second agenda was on the views of the parties participating in the meeting regarding the negotiations in the forthcoming period. In the first issue, we stated that the current situation we are facing is the main reason for the illegal action of the Americans in violation of the agreement and Resolution 2231 and the violation of international rules and regulations, and the action that the Americans took in imposing illegal and oppressive sanctions against our people. , Is the main factor of the current situation.

Accordingly, the first and priority agenda of the Joint Commission of the JCPOA should be to address the situation of oppressive and illegal sanctions.

We stressed that the indicators and criteria that the Islamic Republic of Iran considers to reach a fruitful, fruitful and lasting agreement should be taken into account, that many of the criteria and indicators that we briefly stated in this meeting are welcomed by the parties. The issue was the US guaranteeing that it would not impose new sanctions in the first place, and that it would not impose sanctions that had already been imposed and lifted and would not re-apply them, and that it would not withdraw again and use the capacities contained in the agreement. There, against the member states of the JCPOA.

The meeting on Monday was constructive and useful in the opinion of me and other members, and some members, including the representatives of Russia and China, welcomed and supported Iran's position, and the representatives of European countries also stated this in the context of expressing their views and the positions of their respective countries. It was the United States that created such a situation, and the action that must be taken must be taken by the United States.
