An Iranian economic delegation is going to visit France next week to figure out whether it would be possible to ensure Iran’s interests under the 2015 nuclear deal before Tehran takes the next step in a phased reduction of commitments to the JCPOA, a senior presidential official has announced, Iran Front Page reports.
Asked about his assessment of the recent negotiations between Iran and France, Iranian President’s Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi told reporters on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet session on Wednesday that the progress made in the talks since last week has been satisfactory.
“A delegation will travel to France next week for talks on the aspects and details of the issues. Once the delegation returns to Iran, one could comment better on carrying out the third step,” Vaezi added, referring to Tehran’s decision to implement the third phase of scaling back its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
He also noted that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will not accompany the economic delegation in the upcoming trip to France.
