| 2019-01-29 |
| [PRESSTV] After meeting with the UN nuclear watchdog’s chief, an Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterates the country’s stance that it will remain committed to its 2015 nuclear agreement with world countries if the deal serves its interests. "What matters to us is to make sure that staying in the accord is in the interest of our country," Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araqchi said in Vienna on Monday. "Iran will remain committed to the nuclear deal if the remaining signatories to the JCPOA abide by their commitments," he noted, referring to the accord by the acronym of its official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Araqchi also said that Tehran is willing to preserve the JCPOA despite the United States withdrawal from the deal and its restrictive measures against the Islamic Theocratic Republic. The official, who is in Vienna at the invitation of his Austrian counterpart Johannes Peterlik, had earlier met with Yukiya Amano, the director general of the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). |
