The Iran Project - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has said the September document regarding the talks to revive the JCPOA is not a new document but the outcome of previous rounds of negotiations between Iran and the remaining parties to the deal.



Nasser Kanaani made the remarks at a press conference in Tehran on Monday, answering IRNA’s correspondent who asked him to clarify Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian’s recent remarks about the “September document between Iran and the United States.”

The last round of negotiations on reviving the deal, also known as the JCPOA, in September last year was about to be finalized but the US and its European partners rejected the final document, he stated.

Kanaani went on to note that they made a miscalculation by taking into account the Iran riots as well as the developments in Ukraine, missing an important opportunity to conclude the talks.

“They showed once again that they do not have the true will necessary for the parties to return to the JCPOA and fulfill their obligations."

He then asserted that Tehran will develop its relations with those seeking to expand ties with it based on mutual respect.

He concluded, “In the meantime, we are witnessing the improvement of Iran’s regional and international status,” adding that the developments have undoubtedly led to good achievements in increasing the volume of Iran’s trade with other countries.
