Trump pulled America out in 2018, reinstating sanctions on Iran that Washington had lifted as part of the agreement.Lavrov said Iran no longer meets elements of the agreement “simply because the United States has left it.”“These sanctions should be lifted as part of the restoration of the nuclear deal,” he said, adding that Iran’s “should not suffer from unilateral US measures.”
Trump’s successor Joe Biden has indicated he wants to return to the deal, but his administration has expressed impatience at the stalled talks. Discussions between Iran and the remaining five parties aimed at reviving the deal began in Vienna in April but have been suspended since June, when ultraconservative Ebrahim Raisi was elected president.Hopes of reviving the deal were kept alive earlier this month when Iran agreed to a new compromise with the UN nuclear agency on the monitoring of its nuclear facilities.
Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said Friday the talks would resume “very soon,” but the United States said Tehran had not been specific about the timeframe.
