Iran: Removing All 800 Trump-era Sanctions by nurudeen181(m): 8:32pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Iran has called on the United States to effectively remove all 800
illegal sanctions imposed, re-imposed or re-labeled under former
president Donald Trump, saying such a measure serves as a “ticket”
for Washington to return to the negotiating table.
Speaking to France 24 on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman
Saeed Khatibzadeh said the Islamic Republic would definitely resume
negotiations with the P4+1 group of countries — Britain, France,
Russia, and China plus Germany — in the Austrian capital, Vienna.
However, he added, Tehran is still reviewing the details of the six
rounds of Vienna talks held under the previous Iranian administration.
The new administration is currently trying to “find out why the previous
talks did not reach a satisfactory phase or a document that all sides
will be happy with. All those questions have been written. We are trying
to find out, also, the issues that [we need them] to be addressed
properly in the upcoming talks,” Khatibzadeh said.
“The most important one is removing all sanctions imposed
after President Trump unilaterally withdrew from Iran’s
nuclear deal. You know that President Trump has added 800
new unilateral, illegal sanctions on Iran,” which are needed to
be removed, Khatibzadeh said.
He also emphasized that Iran is looking for a way to ensure that
sanctions are lifted “effectively.”
Asked whether the lifting of all US sanctions was a
precondition for Iran to return to the Vienna talks, the
spokesman explained that such a demand is “no precondition.
Iran and the P4+1 group of countries are members of the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The United States
would like to get back to [the negotiating] room, so it needs a
ticket.”
The ticket is for the US to be able to respond to a request by all of all
P4+1 countries, including Iran, he said.
The Iranian official said the US is required to remove all the sanctions
imposed, re-imposed or re-labeled by Trump and ensure that
Washington will no longer violate the JCPOA.
Before winning the election, US President Joe Biden had promised to
return to all the agreements that Washington scrapped under Trump,
but it did not happen in the case of the JCPOA, Khatibzadeh said.
To be honest, he added, “the new US administration has not changed
its policy towards Iran, the sanctions imposed by the Trump
administration are in place right now, and we have not seen any
meaningful or great change in their policy vis-à-vis Iran,” he added.
The remarks came amid a pause in Vienna talks between Iranian and
P4+1 delegations on a potential revival of the JCPOA.
Trump left the JCPOA in May 2018 and re-imposed the anti-Iran
sanctions that the deal had lifted. He also placed additional sanctions
on Iran under other pretexts not related to the nuclear case as part of
the “maximum pressure” campaign.
Following a year of strategic patience, Iran resorted to its legal rights
stipulated in Article 26 of the JCPOA, which grants a party the right to
suspend its contractual commitments in case of non-compliance by
other signatories, and let go of some of the restrictions imposed on its
nuclear energy program.
Now, the new US administration under President Biden, says it wants
to compensate for Trump’s mistake and rejoin the deal, but it is
showing an overriding propensity for maintaining some of the
sanctions as a tool of pressure.
Tehran insists that all sanctions should first be removed in a verifiable
manner before the Islamic Republic reverses its remedial measures. 1 Like 1 Share |
