Iran's president @HassanRouhani called on the US government to «repair the bridge» to meet and talk // Though US returning to #JCPOA is highly unlikely but some moves from US to compensate for its withdrawal may pave the way for Iran-US talks , its up to @realDonaldTrump !
#Iran FM @JZarif & #EU foreign policy chief @FedericaMog today met in #Singapore on the sideline of #ASEAN۲۰۱۸ & discussed #JCPOA.
#France FM @JY_LeDrian today had a phone conversation with #Iran FM @JZarif over #JCPOA. Zarif is now in #Singapore for #ASEAN summit.
.@HassanRouhani passes the buck to Europe Iran president receiving UK's ambassador Rob Macaire @HMATehran's credentials: - Iran never seeking regional tensions, does not want international waterways blocked - Ball in Europe's court after US withdrawal from #JCPOA#Iran FM @JZarif: In the operational phase, we have not seen enough measures by the West & remaining #JCPOA members including #Europe, #China & #Russia … Although we will continue negotiations with Europe, we will not wait for them.
Iran's FM seems to be signaling openness to new agreement post- #JCPOA if US distances from unilateralism , All eyes on Trump-Putin summit
#Iran & #China FMs met in Coburg Hotel in #Vienna ahead of ministerial joint commission session on #JCPOA. #UK FM not to attend the session. Minister Alistair Burt will represent him.
#Iran’s president (in a phone call w #France president on Thursday): Europe’s proposed package on #JCPOA does not cover all our demands & we hope that the FMs negotiations in #Vienna, can meet Iran’s demands … We expect a clear operational programme with a specific timetable.
With President Rouhani and business delegation on visit to, our long-time friend and partner. Important meetings between the presidents, between myself and my counterpart, and between private sectors. We share a commitment to #JCPOA and will continue to consult on our region.
#Iran FM @JZarif: Don’t assume that if #Rouhani leaves office, principlists will succeed. Some need not to imagine that if Islamic Republic is over, they will hold power. They want to destroy Iran. #sanctions #JCPOA #TrumpIran's deputy FM Araqchi tacitly endorsed @realDonaldTrump's statement that nuclear deal #JCPOA is embarrassing for the US , pointing to Iran's continued missile program & influence in the region ..- Iran's FM @JZarif on state TV: EU should go beyond words to preserve #JCPOA؛ Europe should expend for its security
Breaking/ Iran supreme leader: It was my mistake to allow the government for starting the #JCPOA negotiations. I gave the permission for the negotiations because of the insistence of the gentlemen {Rouhani,Zarif}
Negotiations with #US have never been taboo. There have #JCPOA talks between Iran-US chief diplomats&rounds of negotiation in Baghdad w/ my participation. The problem isn’t negotiation, but that’s US bullying&non-compliance. «Punctuality»&«Authority» are۲pillars for negotiations.
#Iran FM @JZarif: Americans are addicted to sanction. In the next few months, we will show them that they have to quit their addiction to #sanctions. #US #Trump #JCPOA
#Iran’s leader: We cannot count on the words & even the signatures of Americans, so negotiations with #US is of no use. Negotiations with Europeans should not be stopped, but we need not to wait for the European package. Many things need to be done inside the country. #JCPOA
#UK Ambassador to #Iran (on if there’s a timeframe to implement the package to save #JCPOA before US sanctions take effect) told me,«It’s very difficult to give timelines …We’re not looking at a single target date …Some of these things will be quick &some will take a long time»
Highlights of #JCPOA meeting today: ۱. All committed to ensure Iran's benefits: US isolated؛ ۲. Moving in right direction on concrete steps for timely implementation of commitments؛ ۳. Iran reasserted its rights to respond to US violations if remedial measures prove insufficient.
#Iran FM @JZarif & #EU HRVP @FedericaMog today had a working breakfast in #Vienna before FMs meeting of #JCPOA members. Iran VP for legal affairs Laya Joneydi is also in the session.
#Iran President, in a phone call w German Chancellor on Thursday, described the package proposed by E۳ on #JCPOA as «disappointing»:The package lacked operational solution & specific method for cooperation, & featured just a set of general commitments like previous #EU statements
#Iran’s president: Iran will stay in the #JCPOA without #US if signatories other than the US can guarantee Iran's interests … Iran will protect the nuclear deal if it can benefit from it.
IRIB is not a reliable source , there is no such announcement from @FedericaMog regarding a package for Iran on preserving #JCPOA as yet ..#Iran's president #Rouhani: The #US withdrew from its commitments under the #JCPOA with the highest price possible. The great wish of #Trump was that we would exit the deal after him.
#Iran FM @JZarif: We are used to difficulty. We spent a hard time & during war era, we ran the country with #oil at $۸ for a barrel. Now we cannot run the country with $۷۵ oil? #JCPOA #Sanctions
