Iran’s lead negotiator Ali Baqeri Kani urged world powers to be serious in JCPOA talks and emphasized on Iran’s solemn demand to lift sanctions.
“An agreement would be reached and be accepted by two sides if the other side was fully ready and seriously prepared,” he noted.
He went on to highlight that “removing sanctions is the top priority for Iran as they have violated international laws and regulations as well as international principles and they are inconsistent with the JCPOA and the UN Security Council Resolution 2231.”
He again emphasized that “Any illegal and unilateral sanction should be removed immediately regardless of whether they were imposed under Obama or Trump or Biden.”
Currently, the Iranian official is in Vienna to attend negotiations on lifting sanctions against Iran.
On Thursday afternoon it is announced that the 8th round of Vienna talks between Iran and P4+1 has started in Coburg Hotel.
“The removal of the sanctions imposed by the US on Iran after its unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear deal” is the main aim of the current talks.
