Tasnim - The JCPOA joint commission, a group tasked with monitoring commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers, will hold a meeting in New York today, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced.





Speaking to IRIB, Zarif said the commission is going to hold a session at the level of experts on the sidelines of the 72nd regular session of the UN General Assembly.

During the previous meeting of the JCPOA joint commission in Vienna, it was decided to convene a commission session with the presence of ministers on the sidelines of the UNGA meeting if possible, Zarif added.

As regards the talks about the JCPOA in the diplomatic meetings that the Iranian delegation has held in New York in recent days, Zarif said all parties have stressed the need for safeguarding the nuclear deal and have shared the view that the JCPOA is not renegotiable.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) reached a conclusion over the text of the nuclear deal in July 2015 and implemented it in January 2016.

Under the agreement, certain limits have been put on Iran�s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related bans against Tehran.

In the whole reports after coming into force of the JCPOA, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has verified the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran as well as the Islamic Republic�s commitment to the nuclear deal.
