Iran may send delegation to Vienna for negotiations with IAEA

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the possibility of sending an Iranian delegation to Vienna for holding another round of negotiations with International Atomic Energy Agency.

Referring to the results of the visit of Massimo Aparo, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Safeguard to Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister said, "I think Mr. Aparo's trip to Iran was good for us to get a better understanding on the (nuclear) issue. After this trip, we wrote and presented our views regarding a possible modality based on the law of the parliament."

"On Saturday, the IAEA wrote its comments and sent them back to us, and this back-and-forth interaction between Iran and the agency continues. We will probably send colleagues to Vienna to conduct another round of negotiations there," the Iranian top diplomat added.

Earlier on Monday, an informed source told Tasnim that no date has yet been set for the next round of negotiations between Iran and Europe, but Iran’s communication with the three European states remains open and direct, with both sides exchanging messages on a continuous basis.

He added that consultations and discussions are still ongoing regarding the possible activation of the snapback mechanism, and it is too early to say what decision the Europeans will ultimately take.

The source stressed that from Iran’s perspective, the Europeans have no right to invoke the snapback mechanism.

On Monday, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that according to the logic of the JCPOA, in exchange for the lifting of unfair sanctions by the US and European countries, Iran had taken a series of voluntary steps—for example, regarding enrichment level limits or other matters related to the use of different machines. "Therefore, accepting certain limitations on Iran’s nuclear program in return for sanctions relief is not new," he said.

"We have stated that to provide assurance about the peaceful nature of our nuclear program, we are ready to take a set of measures, provided the unjust sanctions are lifted," he stressed.

He said that the three European countries are in contact with the Iranian said that Tehran does not rule out the possibility of holding another round of talks, but no decision has been made on this matter at this point.
