Iran daily: Tehran to Obama — solve your internal problems for nuclear deal

27 Apr 2015 - 12:29


Continuing its PR campaign before nuclear talks with the 5+1 Powers resume on Monday in New York, Iran has told the Obama Administration to resolve its internal political problems so a deal can be completed.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif (pictured) told reporters on Sunday, as he arrived for a UN meeting on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty:
We consider the US administration responsible for implementing the agreement.

Internal problems and conflicts in the US are not related to us and to the implementation of the agreement. Based on international law, the countries’ internal problems don’t exempt them from implementing their undertakings and this is the main framework that we attach importance to.
Zarif will lead the Iranian delegation in today’s talks, which may also include US Secretary of State John Kerry, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, and other Foreign Ministers from the 5+1 (US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China).

Talks are likely to focus on the timing of the removal or suspension of UN, US, and European Union sanctions, while confirming the limits on Iran’s enrichment of uranium. The two sides are seeking a final agreement by a June 30 deadline.

The White House has faced Congressional insistence that legislators approve any comprehensive deal. Earlier this month, a compromise allowed a 30-day review period for consideration of the full text, while avoiding — as with a treaty — a formal vote on the agreement.
