Iran still believes nuclear talks can yield deal
TEHRAN – (AA): Iran has said it still believes that negotiations can succeed to revive the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, despite a recent rebuke from the UN nuclear watchdog.
Tehran last week condemned as “unconstructive” a move by the International Atomic Energy Agency to censure the country for failure to cooperate over its nuclear program.
It also disconnected some of its cameras at nuclear sites, a move the IAEA warned could deal a “fatal blow” to negotiations to revive the nuclear deal.
The negotiations aim to lift sanctions on Iran and bring it back into compliance with nuclear commitments it made to world powers as part of the deal.
But the ever-delicate dialogue has been stalled since March.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh on Monday said all the measures the country has taken to scale back on its obligations under the accord are “reversible”.
