Araqchi Rebukes Western Parties to JCPOA for Procrastination

Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Saturday rebuked the western parties to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action for procrastination to carry out the nuclear deal, IRNA reported.

Araqchi made the remarks speaking to reporters on the sidelines of his presence in the nuclear committee of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.

‘Our main problems are related to the banking sector but it does not mean that we have reached a deadlock in transactions,’ he said.

‘There are problems and challenges which require the Western governments, the US in particular, to further ease the sanctions and we raised the matter with them.’

Iran and the G5+1 joint commission meeting convened on the foreign ministers level during President Rouhani’s recent visit to New York to attend a UN General Assembly meeting, Araqchi said.

He said that the United States has eased some banking restrictions on Iran after President Rouhani attended the UN General Assembly.
