Yukia Amano reaffirms Iran compliance with nuclear-related commitments

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) once again reaffirmed Iran's compliance with its nuclear-related commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA).

Iran Press/America: Yukia Amano in a report to the UN Security Council said that all of Iran's uranium is still under IAEA's supervision and the country continues to give information about the amount of its heavy water.

"Iran also gives permission to IAEA to supervise the amount of its heavy water which is available in Arak reactor," the IAEA Director General noted according to Iran Press.

Also on June 10, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General verified that Iran is committed to all of its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The US unilaterally left the deal in May 2018, although the agreement has been ratified in the form of a United Nations Security Council resolution. It later reintroduced sanctions against Iran that had been lifted under the deal.

A special clearinghouse designed to allow European companies that trade with Iran to bypass newly re-imposed US sanctions has been set up in Europe.

The clearinghouse, known as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX), is seen as critical to reassuring Tehran that the EU genuinely wishes to reward Iran for signing the 2015 deal on its nuclear program by expanding business with the country.

France, Germany and the UK are the initial shareholders of the INSTEX mechanism for trade with Iran, which has been registered in the French capital, Paris, with a capital of 3,000 euros, and will be governed by a German banking expert. 101/211/201
