The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran added: On the other hand, in a situation where there is not much distance left to reach the desired point of the agreement, we are witnessing an attempt to issue a non-constructive statement in the current meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will not be of any benefit.
He continued: As I have always emphasized, Iran has repeatedly shown sufficient will and good will to reach the final step of a good, strong and stable agreement, and there has been no change in Iran’s positions.

Ned Price, the spokesman of the US Department of State, on Thursday evening local time, in continuation of Washington’s claims, blamed Iran for not reaching an agreement and claimed: Our assessment is that the reason we have not yet reached an agreement is that Tehran has a reasonable basis for mutual return, which in The European Union has not accepted the draft.
The new round of Iran sanctions lifting negotiations started in Vienna on August 13 after a five-month break, and these negotiations ended after four days on August 17 with the return of the delegations to the capitals.
The holding of this round of negotiations took place after the European Union’s foreign policy official claimed in the Financial Times newspaper that he has put a new proposal package on the table, which includes up-to-date solutions regarding the lifting of sanctions and Iran’s nuclear steps.
On August 25 (August 16), the Islamic Republic of Iran sent its comments and requests regarding the European Union’s proposals for sanctions relief negotiations in Vienna, and after more than a week, the United States sent its opinion on September 2 (August 24). He presented this to the European Union.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanani, informed the coordinator on the 10th of Shahrivar (September 1st) about the submission of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s comments regarding the US response to the text of the draft agreement on the lifting of sanctions and said: After receiving the US response, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s expert team has been carefully examined and Iran’s answers, after evaluation at different levels, were compiled and delivered to the coordinator tonight. The submitted text has a constructive approach with the aim of finalizing the negotiations.
Ned Price, the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also stated on September 13 (September 13) local time (USA) by saying that we will continue diplomatic efforts, and we have given our opinion on Iran’s latest response.
Despite the statements of Foreign Minister Anthony Blinken, the spokesperson of the US State Department stated: It is not too late to revive the nuclear agreement with Iran.
This senior official of the Biden administration claimed that Iran should put aside extra-JCPOA requests and continue negotiations in good faith.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken claimed in Mexico the night before that Iran’s response is a backward step and makes the prospect of reaching an agreement unlikely in the short term.
Blinken stated that he could not provide a timetable in this regard, but claimed that Iran is unwilling or unable to do what is necessary to reach an agreement.
The talks have reached the crucial stages while reaching the finish line and the final agreement is pending the political decisions of the West, especially the United States of America as the party violating the 1994 agreement.
The delegation of the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes that it is necessary to reach an agreement, the sustainability of the lifting of sanctions is guaranteed in some way, and that the issue should not remain as a lever of pressure to be used against Iran in the future, and it is looking for an agreement in which the economic benefits of the people are secured. Iran’s foreign trade should be removed and illegal restrictions on oil sales should be removed. Therefore, if the opposite party accepts Iran’s reasonable demands and the requirements for the formation of a stable and reliable agreement, the final agreement will be reached.
