- Iran performs the first conversations with the Western powers from IsraelĂ, the US strikes.
- The main approach to conversations is October 18 of the expiration of the resolution of the UN.
- The main optimistic inspectors of the OIEA can return this year.
Iran said that nuclear conversations would continue with European powers after serious, frank and detailed conversations on Friday, the first face to face from Israel and the United States bombed Iran Iran last month.
Before the meeting in Istanbul, Iran also retreated the suggestions of extending the resolution of the United Nations that ratifies a 2015 agreement, about to expire, which was designed to stop its nuclear program.
The Delegations of the European Union and the so -called E3 group of France, Great Britain and Germany met Iranian counterparts for approximately four hours at the Iran Consulate for the conversations that the UN Nuclear Control Agency could provide an opening to resume inspections in Iran.
Iran, Europeans present ideas
Iranian Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kazem Gharibadi, later said that both parties had presented specific ideas about the relief of sanctions and the nuclear problem.
“While seriously criticizing his positions with respect to the recent war of aggression against our people, we explained our positions of principles, even in the so -called Snapback mechanism,” he said.
“It was agreed that consultations on this matter will continue.”
The European countries, together with China and Russia, are the remaining parts of the 2015 agreement, from which the United States retired in 2018, which raised the sanctions to Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program.
A period of October 18 is quickly approaching when the resolution governing that agreement expires.
At that time, all UN sanctions will rise unless the “Snapback” mechanism is activated at least 30 days before. This would automatically reimpose these sanctions, which direct the sectors of hydrocarbons to banking and defense.
To give time for this to happen, the E3 has established a deadline of end of August to revive diplomacy. Diplomats say they want Iran to take concrete measures to convince them to extend the deadline for up to six months.
Europeans want nuclear commitments from Iran
Iran would need to make commitments on key issues, including eventual conversations with Washington, full cooperation with the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), and count 400 kilograms (880 pounds) of highly enriched uranium of level close to weapons, whose relatives are unknown since last month.
Before the conversations, a spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had said that Tehran considered to speak of extending resolution 2231 of the UN Security Council to be “meaningless and without foundation.”
The head of Oiea, Rafael Grossi, said he was optimistic that nuclear inspection visits could restart this year and that it was important to discuss the technical details now.
“We need to agree where to go, how to do it. We need to listen to Iran in terms of what they consider to be the precautions to take,” journalists told Singapore.
The United States celebrated five rounds of conversations with Iran before its air attacks in June, that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, said he had “erased” a program that Washington and his Allied Israel, aims to acquire a nuclear bomb.
However, NBC news He has summoned the current and former officials of the United States saying that an evaluation of the posterior United States found that although the attacks destroyed the majority of one of the three nuclear sites directed, the other two were not so seriously damaged.
