The signatories of the deal listened to Iranian representative Abbas Araqchi, who noted that the elimination of the US punitive measures is the first and top decision to save the multilateral agreement.

According to HispanTV, Araqchi ensured that Iran is willing to return to the origin of the deal after verifying that Washington increased its sanctions.

The JCPOA meeting reached consensus about keeping the consultations at the level of experts.

Today’s meeting was attended by top officials from the Foreign Ministries of Iran, United Kingdom, France, China, Russia and Germany, who are the signatories of the nuclear deal under the umbrella of United Nations Resolution 2231.
