TEHRAN (Tasnim) � The conclusion of nuclear talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) has opened up new vistas for Tehran to think of nuclear activities for commercial purposes.

The termination of anti-Iran sanctions following the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) would have the country focus on nuclear activities with commercial purposes, Salehi said in a meeting held in Tehran on Sunday to discuss the results of the nuclear negotiations.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (also known as the P5+1 or E3+3) finalized the text of a lasting nuclear accord in Vienna on July 14, after 23 months of diplomatic negotiations.
Dubbed the JCPOA, the 159-page document has subjected Iran and the six other countries to comply with a series of commitments, resulting in the termination of sanctions on Iran in exchange for certain restrictions on Tehran�s nuclear program during a defined period of time.

Elsewhere in his comments, Salehi gave an assurance that all of the country�s red lines have been observed in the text of deal.

He said the Iranian diplomats acted in such a wise manner in the negotiations that although there appear to be restrictions on Iran�s program, the country�s nuclear activities will go on.

Back on July 15 and after conclusion of the marathon talks in Vienna, Iran�s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced that the deal would open up an opportunity for Iran to enrich uranium for commercial purposes.

�According to the plans, Iran is scheduled to move toward more advanced nuclear industry and commercial (uranium) enrichment,� Zarif said at the time.
