An advisor to the Iranian negotiating team in the Austrian capital, Vienna, says no agreement with parties to the 2015 Iran deal will be implemented unless the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors closes its case of baseless claims against Iran.
Mohammad Marandi made the remarks in a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday, in reaction to an earlier report by Reuters news agency that claimed Iran had given up some of its key demands in negotiations.
“No deal will be implemented before the IAEA permanently closes the false accusations file,” he wrote, stressing that the removal of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) from the US list of so-called foreign “terrorist” organizations (FTO) had never been a “precondition” for an agreement in Vienna.
He also denounced the report as “very misleading” and said Iran’s nuclear program “will not be dismantled.”
Very misleading. I've said for MONTHS, removing the Guards from the FTO is not a precondition.
