Ulyanov: There is no alternative to JCPOA

– International news – Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s representative to international organizations in Vienna, wrote about the opinion of Western countries regarding Iran’s nuclear issue in his official account on Program X: “A year ago, Western analysts and most officials speculated a lot about the unknown plan B to solve Iran’s nuclear issue.” . Russia always expressed the view that there was no realistic Plan B and no alternative to the JCPOA.

He emphasized: Now we see that Russia was right.

Earlier, the representative of Russia in the international organizations based in Vienna, in an interview, described the statements of representatives of European countries about Iran’s non-compliance with the JCPOA as “completely hypocritical”.

Ulianov stated in an interview with the Sputnik news agency that at the beginning of March 2022, an agreement was reached on the revival of the JCPOA nuclear agreement. He said: “The agreement on the restoration of the nuclear agreement was actually 99% reached. I was at the head of the Russian delegation in these negotiations and everything else was discussed and agreed upon.” According to this Russian diplomat, apparently in the fall of 2022 in Washington decided that there is no need to re-enter the agreement with Iran. He said that subsequently, a similar position was adopted by England, France and Germany, and they “simply did not appear at the negotiating table.” Russia, the subsequent statements by representatives of the three European countries that Iran is not adhering to the JCPOA is “absolutely hypocritical”, as the document agreed in 2022 clearly regulated Tehran’s commitments in the JCPOA.

Ulianov emphasized: “There are now many complaints about Iran enriching uranium up to 60%, and apparently this is spreading. But according to the agreement that the Westerners refused to finalize, it was stipulated that Iran’s enrichment should not exceed 3.67 percent. This can be realized, but the Westerners themselves will not allow this to happen.” His weekly news about sanctions relief negotiations said: “It is still on Iran’s agenda in connection with the JCPOA.” As it has been announced, the neutralization of sanctions is one of the approaches of the diplomatic apparatus, at the same time, the removal of oppressive sanctions is pursued within the framework of the JCPOA and the return of other members.

He added: talks It has been done in this field and the communication threads of message exchange are still in place. This diplomatic path is still in place.
