Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian told his Irish counterpart, whose government serves as facilitator for UNSC resolution 2231, that “Iran has repeatedly shown in practice the will required to reach a good, strong and lasting agreement… it is the American side that must move to correct Trump’s unlawful behaviour through a realistic approach and to take steps in the direction of political initiatives”. The same day, Amirabdollahian indicated that the Vienna talks “continue in another process… through the exchange of written messages” and called on the U.S. “to be realistic”, adding: “Removing sanctions in all areas and receiving economic guarantees are among the most important items on our negotiating team’s agenda”.
