Iran Press/ Iran News: "Talks will not be about the nuclear issue, which has already been resolved, but will instead focus on the US withdrawal from the 2015 multilateral deal and the termination of its illegal sanctions against the Islamic Republic," Ali Bagheri Kani told Press TV in London.
"The main purpose of these talks from the Islamic Republic of Iran's standpoint is to remove the illegal sanctions imposed on the Iranian nation by the US government in blatant violation of the JCPOA and the UN Security Council Resolution 2231," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for political affairs, said.
Iranian top negotiator said that Iran's measures in response to the US withdrawal from JCPOA are within the legal rights stipulated in Article 26 of the nuclear deal, which grants a party the right to suspend its contractual commitments in case of non-compliance other signatories.
"What Americans did by leaving the nuclear deal was not only in violation of the JCPOA, but also the UN Security Council Resolution 2231. The objective of the negotiations is to remove US sanctions, both slapped in the past and in the wake of their withdrawal from the nuclear deal," he noted.
He said Iran is seeking practical guarantees that the US would not violate the international deal anymore.
"US not only hurt Iranians by imposing sanctions, but they also harmed the parties to the deal as they had business transactions and contracts with Iran," Iran's top diplomat said.
