The Iranian diplomat said Iran “loudly declare that if you want to address your concerns about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, all sanctions should be lifted”, Xinhua news agency reported.

Iran will continue the negotiations until a good agreement is reached, he said, adding that “when other parties show their seriousness, it is the day when we can talk about the return of all parties to their commitments” under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Iran will pursue negotiations in Vienna with good faith and seriousness with a view to reaching a “good” agreement, and it is expected that other parties will continue the talks with the same approach, he noted.

Following seven rounds of talks held since April this year, Iran and Western parties to the 2015 nuclear deal have yet found ways to break the impasse on salvaging the pact, which Washington unilaterally quitted in 2018.
