BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. Dialogue, contacts, and mutual exchange of information on Iran's nuclear program continue within the necessary framework, the spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanani said during the press conference, TurkicWorld reports.
According to him, Iran usually declares its position at international meetings. Also, the lifting of sanctions against Iran within the framework initiated by other countries remains at the center of attention.
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. The US announced in May 2018 that it was withdrawing 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.
In late 2020, the Iranian parliament adopted a strategic plan to counter the sanctions, citing the non-fulfillment of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and six countries and the imposition of sanctions on Iran.
According to the decision of the Iranian parliament, as of February 23, Iran had 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.
Besides, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, told the media in recent days that Iran has come close enough to drawing attention to building an atomic bomb after the failure of nuclear talks. No country without an atomic bomb enriches uranium by 60 percent. Iran has enriched the atomic bomb more than the uranium needed to make it. It takes 90 percent enriched uranium to make an atomic bomb. But technically, 60 percent enriched uranium is about the same as 90 percent enriched uranium.
