Iranian Foreign Minister Hosein Amirabdolahian stressed on Monday that they are in contact with EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell, also mediator for the reactivation of the 2015 nuclear deal, and thus rejects speculations about the paralysis of the negotiations.
Specifically, he has assured that Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani and the EU chief negotiator, Enrique Mora, continue with the consultations and stressed that both he and Borrell himself are participating in them, as reported by the official Iranian news agency, IRNA.
Amirabdolahian pointed out that Borrell and Mora will visit Amman, the Jordanian capital, to participate in the Second Baghdad Conference on December 20 and noted that an Iranian delegation will also be present.
«The Amman conference is an opportunity to negotiate the reactivation of the 2015 nuclear agreement,» said the Iranian Foreign Minister, who expressed optimism «despite the attitude of the United States in the last three months.»
Iran has announced the withdrawal of its commitments on several points of the 2015 nuclear agreement after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the pact in 2018, although Iranian authorities have defended that these steps can be reversed if the United States withdraws sanctions and returns to the agreement.
