US must remove all post-JCPOA sanctions before returning to deal

rans top negotiator Abbas Araqchi says in order for the 2015 nuclear deal to get back on track, the United States must remove all the sanctions imposed on the country after the 2015 nuclear deal took effect.

Araqchi spoke to Press TV on Tuesday, following another round of talks between representatives of Iran and other signatories to the deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in Vienna, Austria.

He said all the sanctions imposed on Iran during the terms of ex-president Barack Obama and his successor, Donald Trump, following the implementation of the JCPOA in early 2016 must be terminated before the United States canreturn to the agreement.

Araqchi said Tehrans position with regard to the landmark deal has not changed and will not, either, stressing that, The United States must first lift all sanctions, and Iran will return to its obligations only after verifying the lifting of US sanctions.

Elsewhere in the interview, Araqchi said before starting the third round of Joint Commission in Vienna, the Iranian delegation had held a number of bilateral and trilateral meetings with other parties as well as with representatives of Russia and China to coordinate their positions on the revival of the JCPOA.
We have common positions with Russia and China on many Issues, almost on all issues, and there is a good understanding between the three delegations and we have very close cooperation, the top Iranian negotiator told Press TV.
We can see enough seriousness in all delegations, he added. Everybody is serious enough to work hard in order to come to a conclusion.
