Iran’s lead negotiator at the Vienna talks says Tehran is serious about the negotiations, but sticks to its declared positions.

Iran warns about existence of psychological warfare intentions behind the IAEA’s repeated exposition of details of the country’s nuclear work.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the US' "selective" removal of some entities from its sanctions is not viewed as a sign of "goodwill" from Washington.

Rostam Qassemi, 57, says one of his main responsibilities as Iran’s former oil minister was to find ways around economic sanctions.

Ayatollah Khamenei reiterates that Iran will only return to its JCPOA commitments once it has verified that all US sanctions have been removed.

A political commentator says the recent act of sabotage at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility gives Iran the right to remarkably increase the remedial measures it has taken in the wake of United States’ unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran’s foreign minister has told the UN chief that deliberate targeting of Iran’s safeguarded nuclear facilities ‘is a war crime.’

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says the only path for the US to rejoin‎ the JCPOA is full compliance and removal of all sanctions.

The new US administration of President Joe Biden has signaled its willingness to rejoin the JCPOA, yet it has conditioned the move on Tehran's resumption of its commitments under the 2015 deal.

Despite the US not lifting the sanctions, contrary to expectation, Iran has struck a deal with the IAEA in which Iran’s nuclear activities would be recorded by Iran itself rather than the IAEA, for 3 months, in an attempt to give diplomacy another chance.
