Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out any possibility of revising Iran’s nuclear program. He noted that talks could take place on the optimal implementation of the 2015 nuclear agreement, Mehr reported.

After negotiations in Paris on the possibilities of saving the Iranian nuclear deal, Araghchi told reporters that the focus of talks with the French side was the issue of oil sales and ways to facilitate Iran’s free access to its income.

“Iran has repeatedly stated that it will resume full implementation of its commitments to the JCPOA only when it can freely sell its oil and fully access its oil revenues. France’s initiative is exactly about this issue,” Araghchi said. “Europe should either purchase Iran’s oil, or provide us with a $15 billion letter of credit, which can in fact be considered as pre-purchasing our oil. After receiving the $15 billion package, Iran is ready to hold talks with the remaining signatories to the JCPOA; but the truth is that there are still serious differences in opinions between the two sides on the agenda of these talks. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not, under any circumstances, negotiate with any side over its red lines.”

Araghchi also denied rumors about the possibility of a meeting between President Hassan Rouhani and President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the upcoming meeting of the UN General Assembly, saying that such a meeting is not on the agenda.
