Iran critical of European countries’ stance on nuclear deal

Reuters – Dec 12 ,2021

DUBAI, Dec 12 (Reuters) – Iran said on Sunday that European countries had failed to offer constructive proposals to help to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, after Britain said there was still time for Tehran to save it but that this was the last chance.

Talks have resumed in Vienna to try to revive the nuclear pact, with both sides trying to gauge the prospects of success after the latest exchanges in the stop-start negotiations.

“European parties fail to come up with any initiatives to resolve differences over the removal of sanctions (on Iran),” Iran’s top negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani said, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV. He was referring to Britain, France and Germany, which are among the major powers trying to salvage the deal.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said earlier on Sunday: “This is the last chance for Iran to come to the negotiating table with a serious resolution to this issue, which has to be agreeing the terms of the JCPOA (nuclear accord).”

“This is their last chance and it is vital that they do so. We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon,” Truss said.

Germany said on Saturday that time was running out to find a way to revive a 2015 nuclear accord.
