Iran Press/ Europe News: Russian Permanent Representative to International Organisations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov has warned that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as Iranian nuclear deal, could be completely destroyed in foreseeable future, Sputnik reported.
"It is necessary to somehow find a way out of the situation since there is quite a real prospect of full destruction of the deal in foreseeable future", Ulyanov said at a Moscow-Vienna video conference on the results of the 63rd General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The diplomat warned that Tehran is most likely to proceed to the fourth stage of reducing its obligations under the accord in November.
"The third step was made in September, and it included installing centrifuges and conducting research works. There are high chances, and we can expect that the fourth step will be made in early November, and so on, until Iran gets what it expects, namely, restoring the balance between nuclear and economical commitments within the nuclear deal", Ulyanov said.
He also criticised steps of the US administration, noting that restrictions imposed on top-ranked Iranian politicians are meaningless, as they are reducing the chances for settling the crisis around the nuclear deal.
The statement follows a new round of sanctions on the Iranian Central Bank and sovereign wealth funds, imposed by Washington last week.
Iranian President described the US as the major obstacle for negotiation, saying that Tehran is ready for the talk but not under pressure.
Speaking at Mehrabad Airport on Sep. 27 upon arrival from New York, President Hassan Rouhani said that we showed the world that the Americans themselves are that major obstacle to any negotiations.
