Washington: The US has said that it does not plan to ease sanctions on Iran ahead of an ‘informal meeting’ of the expected P5 + 1 on the nuclear deal.
“We don’t anticipate taking additional steps, as in snapback – snapping back of sanctions in advance of that. This is about having a conversation about the path forward,” Psaki said during a press briefing on Friday.
On Thursday, the United States accepted an invitation from the European Union to attend a meeting of the P5+1 group – consisting of China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States plus Germany – with Iran to discuss a diplomatic way forward on Iran’s nuclear program.
US President Joe Biden has repeatedly vowed the United States would resume obligations under the nuclear agreement, abandoned by his predecessor Donald Trump, once Iran returns into compliance.
