DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran needs stronger guarantees from Washington for the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal, its foreign minister said in Moscow on Wednesday, adding that the U.N. atomic watchdog should drop its “politically-motivated probes” of Tehran’s nuclear work.
The comment from Hossein Amirabdollahian came as Iran reviews Washington’s answer to a final text drafted by the European Union that aims to overcome an impasse in attempts to revive the 2015 nuclear pact.
“Iran is carefully reviewing the EU-drafted text… We need stronger guarantees from the other party to have a sustainable deal … The (U.N.) agency should close its politically-motivated probes,” Amirabdollahian told reporters.
