Bern doesn't consult with US on lifting sanctions against Iran

The Swiss Government, taking a decision on the lifting of sanctions against Iran, did not discuss it with the US, the Deputy spokesperson of the US State Department, Mark Toner, said.

"Not that I’m aware of, no," TASS cited him as saying.

As Vestnik Kavkaza reported, Toner also said that the US does not intend to follow the example of Switzerland. "We’ve been clear that we won’t relieve any sanctions under the JCPOA until after the IAEA verifies that Iran has taken all of its major nuclear-related steps, and that remains our policy.  So until that occurs, we intend to continue aggressively enforcing those sanctions," he said.
