    AmirAbdollahian: Iran showed initiative and seriousness

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that although Iran wishes to reach an agreement with good intentions, it will not tolerate the use of threatening language. 

In a phone call with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, the FM explained that the Iranian team involved in the nuclear negotiations is taking the necessary initiative and working seriously in order to reach a good agreement. He added that the negotiations are coming along slowly due to a lack of initiative on the western side of the talks.

During the call, he detailed that Iran presented two drafts during the 7th round of the Vienna nuclear negotiations, the Iranian delegation to Vienna had five demands, the most pressing of which is the lifting of JCPOA-related sanctions.

Yesterday, AmirAbdollahian announced that Iran had reached a "good" agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Guterres considered that the nuclear agreement is highly important to international peace and stability, adding that the position of the UN has always been clear and unambiguous.

The Secretary-General expressed appreciation for Iran's cooperation with the IAEA and approving the installation of cameras, noting the positive impact this will have on confidence-building and that the UN will use all the tools at its disposal to ensure negotiations come out positively. 

Two positions on IAEA agreement

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Vienna, two positions exist in regard to Iran's agreement with the IAEA. The first considers the agreement extremely valuable, according to Russian delegate Mikhail Ulyanov.

The agreement between #Iran and the #IAEA Director General Mr.R.Grossi on Karaj is an extremely valuable contribution to the #ViennaTalks on restoration of #JCPOA.

— Mikhail Ulyanov (@Amb_Ulyanov) December 15, 2021

The second position came from France's delegation, who expressed that Iran had not done much and that the agreement might not affect the negotiation process.
