Iran asks US to show full compliance with N. deal undertakings

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi urged the US to show full compliance with its undertakings under the July nuclear deal with Iran.

"The US undertakings are much more than what it has done and we have not yet reached full agreement with the large banks, and the other side and the US should break this (negative) atmosphere," Takh Ravanchi said on Tuesday.


"We have made good progress in certain fields and in other arenas we think that the other side, specially the Americans, should do more in area of the sanctions, specially the banking embargos," he added.


Takht Ravanchi referred to the western powers' response to Iran's demands for full implementation of the nuclear deal, and said that they claim that they have removed sanctions under the nuclear deal, but "we have told them that calling off sanctions on paper is not enough and they need to break the negative atmosphere that they created and spread when imposing the sanctions".


In relevant remarks earlier this month, Takht Ravanchi said that full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (last July nuclear deal) would serve the interests of both Iran and the world powers, cautioning that Tehran can resume its frozen nuclear activities in case of the opposite side's disloyalty.


"I think that if the JCPOA produces results, it will benefit everyone; meaning that the good implementation of the nuclear deal will be beneficial to everyone because no party wants to return to the past," Takht Ravanchi said.


Noting that the world powers are aware of Iran's possibilities to restore its past nuclear program which was restricted after the nuclear deal, he said, "They know the Islamic Republic of Iran's capabilities in the nuclear field and are aware of our scientific level."


Also, in April, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi strongly warned the western members of the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) against violating the July nuclear deal, saying that any such violation would receive Tehran's firm response.


"Legally speaking, there is a possibility that the other side misuses a point in the nuclear deal, but meantime, the document enjoys such an integrity and power that the other side doesnt allow itself to create any problem," Salehi said, addressing Iranian foreign ministry officials in Tehran.


He underlined that Tehran will continue monitoring the other side's commitment to its undertakings with its eyes open wide. "I firmly announce that we act upon the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Khamenei)'s views in a way that if the other side does not comply with its undertakings appropriately, we will show a proper reaction."


His remarks came after the US and certain other western states have been witnessed as dragging their feet in implementing undertakings based on the nuclear deal which included removal of sanctions against Tehran.
