Iran Press/ Iran news: Hossein Amirabdollahian, in an Instagram post on Friday, elaborated on Iran's views and stances about Iran nuclear deal known as the JCPOA after finalizing the date for holding Vienna talks.
Iran's F.M. referred to the latest conversations with foreign ministers of China, Russia, the UK, Germany, and France, saying that Iran's participation in the 7th round of Vienna Talks is based on a pragmatic and result-based approach.
"Iran is determined to achieve a good agreement, but it requires effective and verifiable removal of sanctions and all parties return to obligations, Amirabdollahian emphasized.

"The U.S. actions and violations, including its new sanctions against the Islamic Republic , have made it an unavoidable necessity for the United States to present objective guarantees," he noted.
He stressed: "Iran seriously pursues the policy of developing balanced relations with other countries based on mutual respect and common interests."
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani says no nuclear negotiations will be held in late November Vienna Talks.
"We do not have a nuclear negotiation in Vienna because the nuclear issue was fully solved in 2015 in the form of an agreement reached between Iran and the P5 + 1," Bagheri said, visiting some E.U. countries.
After 13 years of intensive international negotiations, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was concluded on July 14, 2015. One week later, the U.N. Security Council ratified Resolution No. 2231 and attached it to Annex A.

Yet, after Donald Trump took office as the U.S. President in January 2017 and took a few preliminary steps to fulfill the deal, he unilaterally withdrew from the agreement on May 8, 2018, and introduced the harshest sanctions in history against Iran in line with his "maximum pressure" campaign against the Islamic Republic.
In a counter-sanctions measure, Iran's Supreme National Security Council started a series of scale-backs measures to stop the implementation of voluntary commitments to the JCPOA within the framework of the same deal.
Iran has repeatedly stated that if the other parties remaining in the JCPOA decide to implement their obligations by the agreement, it will stop the scale-backs.
Iran and the remaining parties to the JCPOA started talks in April in Vienna to revive the deal. The U.S., under the Joe Biden administration, was also participating in the Vienna talks indirectly.
Six rounds of talks were held until June. However, the talks failed to produce a breakthrough as the United States raised new issues not related to the original JCPOA. For example, the U.S. tried to include Iran's missile program and regional policies to revitalize the multilateral agreement.
Moreover, the Biden administration also attempted to extend Iran's nuclear program limits, which will be automatically lifted in the coming years.
The new round of JCPOA negotiations will be held on November 29, 2021, in Vienna between Iran and P4+1.
