Tehran FM demands 'more robust' US guarantees for nuclear deal
Iranian news outlets are emphasizing the uncertainties facing the nuclear deal as the country's top diplomat said more guarantees were still needed from the United States for the accord's revival.
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has demanded that Washington offer more robust guarantees for sanctions relief in negotiations over the resurrection of the Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Iranian minister was referencing an official US response to Iran's comments on an EU-drafted deal for the JCPOA's revival. Tehran has said it is still reviewing the US answers.
"We are determined to reach a lasting agreement," Amir-Abdollahian declared at a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.
Another thorny issue in the course of the talks has pertained to outstanding questions regarding the possible military dimensions of past Iranian nuclear activities. Iran insists that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) drop its probe and declare the file closed.
