Zarif: US must commit to JCPOA by taking corrective measures

Tehran, Feb 21, IRNA - Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday demanded taking corrective measures by the US and abiding by its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

 Zarif wrote in his Twitter account that “there is a path forward, with a logical sequence: #CommitActMeet as the offending side, US must take corrective measures:

-commit to JCPOA

-effectively fulfill obligations.”

“Iran would reciprocate immediately by reversing its remedial measures,” he added.

Earlier on Sunday, Zarif met and held talks with the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi.

Grossi arrived in Tehran on Saturday and was welcomed by Spokesman for Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi and Iran’s Representative in the International Atomic Energy Agency, Kazem Gharibabadi.

This is the second visit of Grossi to Iran since taking office as IAEA chief. The visit comes amid a countdown to the deadline set by Iran slated for February 23 to end the voluntary implementation of Additional Protocol (AP).

In early September, Grossi had his first visit to Tehran at the invitation of senior Iranian officials and in line with continuing Iran's cooperation and commitments as a member of this international body.

Iran nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi had already said that after Iran wrote a letter to the IAEA to inform it of the Majlis strategic law of sanctions removal, Grossi demanded to make a visit to Iran, and Iran agreed with it.

Earlier today, Gharibabadi said in a Twitter message that Iran and the IAEA “held fruitful discussions based on mutual respect.”

Gharibabadi added that the results of the negotiations “will be released this evening".
