Efforts must be redoubled to return to the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for Iran’s nuclear program. This was announced on Friday, December 3, at a briefing by the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarrick.
“We urge all negotiators to redouble their efforts to come to the implementation of these agreements,” he said, answering a question about the position of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres regarding the results of the next round of consultations in Vienna.
On November 29, the United States announced its intention to return to compliance with the JCPOA with Iran. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington remains committed to reaching an agreement on a mutual return to full compliance with commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program.
Earlier, on November 24, Britain, France and Germany in a joint statement called on Iran to immediately restore access for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the TESA facility in Karaj. The appeal also says that Tehran has a sufficient amount of nuclear fuel so that after enrichment it would be enough to produce more than one nuclear charge.
Also on this day, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, noted that Russia is concerned about the expansion of the Iranian nuclear program and its ever greater deviation from the parameters agreed upon by the JCPOA. In addition, he stressed that it is necessary to correct the current situation, as well as to establish the reasons for Tehran’s rejection of the nuclear deal. Ulyanov considered the negotiations in Vienna to restore the JCPOA the only way to solve the problem.
The JCPOA on the Iranian nuclear program was signed in 2015, it assumed the lifting of sanctions in exchange for limiting Iran’s nuclear program as a guarantor of Tehran’s non-receipt of nuclear weapons. However, in May 2018, the United States announced a unilateral withdrawal from it and the restoration of tough sanctions against Tehran. In response, Iran has gradually begun to backtrack on its obligations under the treaty.
