BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 19. The country’s rights regarding its nuclear program may be realized with the rise of a new government in Iran, the spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani said during a press conference in Tehran on August 19, Trend reports.
According to him, a series of discussions have been held under the current government to restore the comprehensive joint action plan, and it was noted that all sides have responsibly reverted to the plan.
Kanaani emphasized that Abbas Araghchi, proposed by Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian as foreign minister, also stated that he would take steps within the framework of the strategic action plan adopted by the country’s parliament.
To note, the Comprehensive Plan of Joint Action on Iran’s nuclear program was implemented between Iran and the P5+1 group (the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany) in January 2016. In May 2018, the US announced its withdrawal from the plan and imposed sanctions on Iran in November of the same year. Iran has announced that there will be no restrictions on the Iran nuclear deal in 2020.
Meanwhile, in late 2020, the Iranian parliament adopted a strategic plan to counter the sanctions, citing the non-fulfillment of the JCPOA signed between Iran and six countries and the imposition of sanctions on Iran.
Based on the decision of the Iranian parliament, as of February 23, Iran stopped the implementation of additional measures and an additional protocol included in the nuclear deal. As a consequence, the monitoring mechanism of the IAEA was reduced by 20–30 percent.
