Iran's lead negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani considers that certain negotiating teams insist on their blame game habit, instead of practicing real diplomacy.

Commenting on the statement by the European delegations, Iran's lead negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani insists that the blame game continues between the parties to the agreement, stressing that "some actors persist in their blame game habit, instead of real diplomacy."

"We proposed our ideas early and worked constructively and flexibly to narrow gaps; diplomacy is a two-way street. If there's real will to remedy the culprit's wrongdoing, way for quick good deal will be paved," Bagheri Kani said on Twitter.

Commenting on the European statement, the advisor to the Iranian negotiating team in Vienna, Mohammad Marandi, tweeted, “Iran isn't impressed,” and he called on European negotiators to “get used to the fact that Iran won't accept anything less than full and verifiable implementation of the JCPOA.”

This came after diplomats from France, Britain, and Germany said Western powers have not been able to enter into any real negotiations with Iran in the talks dedicated to reviving the nuclear deal.

The European diplomats had stressed in a statement that in light of the rapid development of Iran's nuclear program, the nuclear agreement will soon become pointless. They accused Iran of submitting proposals that were not in line with the 2015 nuclear deal.

Bagheri Kani had considered that Iran’s path in the negotiations was successful, noting that the negotiations during the previous days were focused on setting a framework for discussing the disputed points to speed up reaching an agreement.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Bagheri Kani had clarified that his country was able to achieve good progress, adding that this progress could quickly set the ground for serious negotiations.

On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein AmirAbdollahian stressed the need to revive the JCPOA in its original, balanced form, which was supported by the UN Security Council, in exchange for lifting the sanctions on Iran.
