Reaffirming Iran’s support for logical and result-oriented talks for reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian warned the US that the continuation of its “unconstructive” measures will draw Tehran’s proportionate response, Tasnim reported.

In a telephone conversation on Saturday, Amirabdollahian and EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell talked about the latest developments in the Vienna negotiations for saving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and removing the sanctions on Tehran.

The Iranian foreign minister thanked Borrell for his efforts to forge a deal in Vienna, and criticized the US over its unconstructive and hasty moves to get a resolution approved at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors.

In response to a request for the continuation of talks, Amirabdollahian said Iran has always welcomed logical and result-based talks, but it is necessary that the other side quit adopting double standards and contradictory behavior in order to reach a good and lasting deal.

The top Iranian diplomat added that Tehran still believes that diplomacy is the best and most proper path and solution to the issue.

The EU foreign policy chief, for his part, said he is willing to continue playing a positive role in forging a final deal.

He underlined that the only way out of the current situation is the pursuit of diplomacy and avoiding unconstructive actions.

“I am ready to make necessary efforts to pave the way for a deal that would be agreed upon by all sides,” Borrell added.
