Mohammad Marandi, an analyst, told Aljazeera TV network on Friday night that the important issue is that the potential accord should not include any kind of possible problem, ambiguities or gap, which could be misused by the United States in a bid to withdraw it under the excuse of such gaps, as the Trump administration could use ambiguous words and some gaps in the 2015 nuclear deal in order to pull out of the agreement.
The analyst went on to say that this time Iran is determined to push for creating a framework to prevent the US from annulling the potential deal.
The Iranian negotiating team tries to create a condition that the US would not be able to withdraw from the agreement without paying prices; so, there is nothing extraordinary in Iran’s response to the suggestion of the European Union on the revival of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), he noted.
Asked about the reason behind delay of the Vienna agreement because of differences on wordings, he answered that as Iran has repeatedly said, fake and politicized accusations made by the IAEA against Iran in the Board of Governors should be resolved first of all.
Iranian officials are well aware that the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi visited the occupied lands of Palestine and held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid before a recent meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog, indicating that their stance towards Tehran has been politicized, Marandi argued.
Moreover, the Board of Governors is ruled by the Western states; thus, the Islamic Republic wants them to stop unfounded accusations, because a desired agreement should be based on firm basis, he added.
The analyst further said that any kind of ambiguity and sentence should be explained clearly, because it is an important text, which should be in place for a long time, and that Iran will not see that the US says after a while that they do not want to implement a subject based on the excuse that it is ambiguous.
According to the pundit, the first and second answers of the Islamic Republic to the EU proposition have not changed, and the remaining issue in the final stages is the exact explanation of the potential agreement text.
Tehran pursues an agreement based on a clarified text, but the US and the European countries want to see the text would remain ambiguous, he said, noting that as far as the draft is not a clear text, it would not be ready for final signing.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the analyst said that some European states asked Iran to export gas via Turkey to Europe, in fact they hope for finalization of the negotiations for the resumption of the JCPOA in order to be able to import energy from Iran, but the US is still the main problem in this regard.
