The Iranian Foreign Ministry submitted the 22nd quarterly report on the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

The report elaborated in 213 pages the latest updates after six rounds of negotiations in Vienna, noting that “according to the framework reached so far, all sanctions should be lifted at the time of the signing of the Agreement, including those imposed by former US President Donald Trump if the United States decides to rejoin the Agreement.” 

Based on the primary observation of the law entitled "Proportional and Reciprocal Action of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Implementation of the JCPOA" approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly in 2015, the Foreign Ministry shall report to the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Assembly every three months on the implementation of the Agreement.”

In the same context, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission shall submit a report on the implementation of the JCPOA to the open session of the Assembly once every six months.

Within the framework of the Vienna negotiations aimed at reviving the Nuclear Agreement, the Joint Committee of the Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) has held 6 rounds of negotiations so far, the last of which was 3 weeks ago.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, head of the Iranian negotiating team in Vienna, stated at the end of the sixth round, “Our objective is to reach a good deal. We are closer to an agreement than ever before. However, the remaining path yet to be covered will not be easy.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry stated earlier that Iran’s stance concerning the Nuclear Agreement and lifting the embargo is one of principle, adding that “President Raisi's government will abide by the Nuclear Agreement if it is signed."
