Abolfazl Amouei told reporters on Sunday that the commission was briefed on the latest foreign policy developments by Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani who heads Iran’s negotiation team in the talks for a possible US return to the deal.
Bagheri Kani elaborated on Ukraine crisis and its impacts on regional and international developments, US President Joe Biden’s regional tour, and his failure to achieve goals, as well as Iran’s pursuit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS+ ascension, according to Amouei.
The foreign ministry official also highlighted consolidating Iran’s position in international corridors and energy swap in the region as the topics targeted by the foreign ministry.
Elsewhere in the briefing session, Amouei said, Bagheri elaborated on the latest situation with the talks to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the MPs called for receiving enough assurances from the US if it wished to rejoin the deal.
Amouei also said that the MPs emphasized settlement of the issues related to the safeguards agreements with the IAEA, pursuit of Iran’s economic benefits from a possible deal, and the importance of verification and removal of sanctions.
Iran and the P4+1 have been holding talks for over 18 months with the indirect participation of the US for a possible return of Washington to the JCPOA.
