Iran blames US for delays to revive nuclear deal

TEHRAN, 19 April 2022, (TON): Iran said “an agreement with world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal was still not in sight, blaming the United States for the delay.”

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said “more than one issue is still pending between Iran and the United States.”

He told reporters “messages sent through (European Union coordinator Enrique) Mora these past weeks are far from providing solutions that could lead to an accord.”

Iran has been engaged in efforts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia directly, and the United States indirectly since April 2021.

Mora, who coordinates the indirect US-Iran talks, visited Tehran last month for talks with Iranian officials, and later went to Washington.

At the time, Mora said he hoped to close the gaps remaining in the arduous negotiations.
