Iran proposes an amendment to JCPOA

Informed sources tell Press TV that Iran proposed an amendment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Iran Press/Iran news: Calling for early approval of the additional protocol by the Iranian parliament, the nuclear deal approval by US congress and lifting all sanctions by Washington are among the proposed amendment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by Iran.

“Iran’s proposed amendment to the nuclear deal calls for early approval of an additional protocol by Iran’s parliament, nuclear deal approval by US Congress, lifting of all sanctions by Washington,” Press TV said, citing what it described as informed sources.

Iran’s Government Spokesman said the offer to make “small changes” to the 2015 nuclear deal in return for the removal of US sanctions is aimed at breaking the current impasse.

The conditions and issues we earlier raised are definitely still in place. Basically, the removal of sanctions and return to the terms of the deal are not conditions at all,” Ali Rabiei told reporters on Wednesday.

“What we say is that return to where you were. If they stop all the sanctions and go back to the terms of the deal, then talks and dialogue would be possible,” he added.

Ali Rabiei said, “Even for building more trust and breaking the deadlock, the respected president has offered to make small changes to the JCPOA itself so that the deadlock would be broken.”

“The president will make the offer there, but all of this hinges on their return to where they were. I once again emphasize: the sanctions are broken, stopped, and all parties return to the JCPOA,” he concluded.  101/201
