TEHRAN, Mar 12 (NNN-IRNA) – The sabotage and psychological operations of the U.S., in lifting its anti-Iran sanctions, delayed the Vienna talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, to yield an agreement, Tasnim news agency reported yesterday, citing an Iranian source.
“The main issue in the Vienna talks is the (U.S.) sanctions on individuals, companies, and institutions, that play an effective role in Iran’s economic benefit,” the source said.
From the beginning of the talks, Iran has been calling for removing those individuals, companies, and institutions from the so-called “red list,” and the American side has repeatedly used delaying tactics, and links the removal to issues beyond the nuclear talks, he said.
The informed source added that “there will be no agreement without the lifting of these sanctions” and Iran has announced this to the United States and to the remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, which is formally known as the JCPOA.
“The United States knows, it needs an agreement more than any other party to the JCPOA, therefore, these sabotage and psychological operations will be more to their detriment,” the source noted.– NNN-IRNA
