Revival of JCPOA hinges on IAEA behavior

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, reacted to Western allegations that Iran has dropped a demand for the
source of contention in the talks in Vienna over reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA)
It presented Iran with a set of questions on the sites
Iran provided answers but the IAEA keeps insisting that the Iranian answers are not technically credible.On the other hand, Iran said the
IAEA has moved away from its mandate by pursuing unfounded allegations propagated by Israel, a staunch opponent of the JCPOA
underlined the same position on Tuesday
Speaking at a press conference attended by Iranian and foreign reporters, Ayatollah Raisi said Iran has been committed to negotiations while
also working to neutralize U.S
sanctions.He outlined the parameters for reaching a deal, saying that such a deal would require four conditions: credible guarantees,
practical verification of sanctions removal, lasting and meaningful sanctions relief, and the closure of political allegations made by the
sanctions on Iran
allegations submitted by Israel.Relying on Israel-supplied documents, the IAEA has requested answers from Iran about nuclear particles found
at a number of Iranian sites
Iran gave its answers but the IAEA insists on greater cooperation, a move that has been seen by Iran as politically motivated and
incompatible with the technical nature of IAEA work.President Raisi said reaching a deal is now dependent on the IAEA closing its probe
We also emphasize that safeguards issues must be resolved and this is a pillar in the negotiations and without it, the talk of an agreement
follows as a strategy
decisive
Our intention and emphasis are that if these questions are not closed by the Reimplementation Day, there will be no Reimplementation Day
