TEHRAN, Jan 10 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said yesterday that, negotiations on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal are continuing through relevant channels at both sides’ request.
Nasser Kanaani made the remarks at a weekly press conference, without further elaborating on “relevant channels.”
Kanaani added, Iran’s policy towards the nuclear issue is clear, and the country is acting within the same political framework.
He said, Iran is ready for the conclusion of the nuclear talks, based on the European Union’s proposed package.
However, achievement of an agreement is a bilateral process, he said, noting that “the United States is the country that has violated its oath, under the nuclear deal and must be accountable for its action.”
Kanaani also warned that, the window of diplomacy will not remain open forever on Iran’s side, as mentioned earlier by Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and the country’s chief negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, urging the other sides to act rationally and pay attention to their interests within this framework.
The revival of the nuclear deal is not Iran’s sole foreign policy issue, he added.
A number of U.S. officials have said over the past days that, the nuclear deal’s revival is no longer on Washington’s agenda, saying, the United States is focused on the recent protests that erupted in Iran, following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in a Tehran hospital, on Sept. 16, a few days after her collapse at a police station.
Iran has accused the United States and some other Western countries of “inciting riots and supporting terrorists” in the country.
