The United States is ready to lift sanctions against Iran and return to compliance with its JCPOA commitments, but on the condition that Iran does the same
This statement was made by U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Tuesday, December 14.
“US President Joe Biden has made it clear – he is ready to return to states’ compliance with JCPOA commitments if Iran does the same. We are fully prepared to lift sanctions that are inconsistent with our JCPOA commitments, allowing Iran to benefit economically from the deal”, – Thomas-Greenfield said.
He added that nevertheless, the US cannot allow Iran to accelerate its nuclear programme and delay negotiations. And, according to Thomas-Greenfield, that is exactly what is happening at the talks in Vienna.
