Iran says US sanctions move 'good but not enough'

Tehran (AFP) – US steps on lifting sanctions are "good but not enough", Iran's foreign minister said on Saturday, hours after Washington announced it was waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear programme.

The US action came as talks to restore a 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers over its nuclear programme reached an advanced stage, with the issue of sanctions relief a major issue.

The US State Department on Friday said it was waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear programme in a technical step necessary to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.

Former president Donald Trump withdrew from the pact in 2018 and reimposed crippling sanctions on Iran, prompting the Islamic republic to begin pulling back from its commitments under the deal.

Amir-Abdollahian reiterated that one of the "main issues" in the JCPOA talks is obtaining guarantees that the US will not withdraw from the 2015 deal again.

"We seek and demand guarantees in the political, legal and economic sectors," he said, adding that "agreements have been reached in some areas".

He’s following the Obama model that was used with Cuba as well: just get a “deal,” every do the terms are not favorable to America, so that the media will trumpet the deal as an accomplishment. Problem is, he can’t give them what they want, namely a guarantee that no future US government will ever again back out do the deal

Iran is a world threat. They are one of the top buyers of weapons from China, the world’s biggest seller. And they are currently supplying weapons, with Russia, to south American countries to attack their neighbors. And this fool is giving them a green light to develop nuclear power?

They are also cozying up to Pakistan, according to the video in comment 6, as it’s apparently not enough that they are in bed with another big nuclear nation.
