America’s new stance on sanctions lifting negotiations – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr news agency, quoted from PBSRobert Mali about the negotiations to lift the sanctions and restore the nuclear agreement with Iran, pointing out that there is no agreement yet, claimed: Washington does not intend to lower its sanctions standards regarding the business of companies with Iran. We have not, and will not, lower the standards of our sanctions on European or other companies doing business with Iran. Iran must respect our sanctions. The Treasury Department has defined very clear standards for what companies must do. Any reports to the contrary that claim we are lowering or negotiating our standards are simply false.
Robert Mali in an interview with PBS He said: There was a text and there is a common and clear understanding of what the European Union and the coordinator (negotiations) believe should be included in the text so that the parties can return to their commitments.
V Again Throwing the agreement ball on Iran’s ground, he added: And our position is also clear, just as we said from the first day. We are ready to return to the nuclear deal In the event that Iran should do the same. And from our point of view, that return is quite clear in terms of the sanctions relief that we need to do and the steps that Iran needs to take to limit its nuclear program.
Regarding whether Iran has applied for the agency’s investigation to be suspended or resolved, and whether Washington intends to give Tehran concessions in the agency’s investigation, Mali claimed: No. And again, we’ve made that clear, and I also know there are reports to the contrary. Our position is clear and audible to everyone; We do not intend to put any pressure on the IAEA to drop these remaining issues. These issues will be put aside and closed when Iran provides credible technical answers to the agency; Responses requested by the agency. As soon as they do that, and as soon as the agency is convinced, we will give our consent, but not until then.
Robert Mali said about the reduction of sanctions on Iran: “I won’t give a figure in this case, but I can say that there are blocked assets, assets and money that Iran collected when there were no sanctions, and now they are in the world’s bank accounts.” In the event that If Tehran returns to its obligations in the nuclear agreement, it can access these properties. And of course it will be possible for them to sell oil and they will benefit from their oil income.
The new round of talks on lifting sanctions and reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) resumed on Thursday last week in Vienna, the capital of Austria, after a break of about 5 months. The European and Western parties, especially the United States, previously claimed that the text of the agreement has been finalized, but the negotiating team of our country has announced that an agreement has not yet been reached on some issues of revitalizing the JCPOA; An agreement that Washington unilaterally withdrew from in 2015. The Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes that the stability of the guarantee of the lifting of sanctions is necessary to reach an agreement.
