UN Secretary-General António Guterres urges the United States to lift or waive its sanctions against Iran’s oil sector to resume the US-abandoned Iran nuclear deal.

Iran’s foreign minister says “excessive demands” by the US and the three European parties to the nuclear deal have stalled talks to revive the deal and remove sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s chief negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani says he has held “frank” talks with EU’s coordinator Enrique Mora, amid efforts to revive the 2015 Iran deal.

Iran's chief negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani has met and conferred with his British, French and German counterparts in the emirate capital of Abu Dhabi.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the importance of preserving Iran's nuclear infrastructure.

Despite Iran extending full cooperation to the UN nuclear agency, opening its nuclear facilities for periodic inspections, and unfailingly informing the agency about its enrichment activities, the country has unreasonably been subjected to vicious attacks of political nature.

The Iranian FM says the current situation of the JCPOA is the result of US policies and miscalculations.
