Iran pushes for EU guarantees as diplomats meet in Vienna
Tehran (KNA) - Top nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi has said Iran will decide soon whether to stay in the 2015 nuclear deal as he urged the Europeans to guarantee Tehran's interests under the accord after the US withdrawal.
Araqchi arrived in Vienna on Friday to meet his counterparts from Europe to discuss the future of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) after President Donald Trump's dramatic announcement to leave it.
"We are yet to decide whether we will stay in the JCPOA or leave it and this depends on how the other members can compensate one member's exit," the Fars news agency quoted Araqchi as saying."
The Europeans must specifically tell us how they can guarantee Iran's interests in the deal in the absence of the US and its re-imposition of sanctions," he added.
