Vienna hosts JCPOA joint commission today

The next meeting of the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will be held in Vienna on September 1.

The meeting will be chaired by Secretary-General of the European Union External Action Service Helga Schmid and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.

The event will be attended by representatives of France, Germany, Britain, China and Russia. The meeting will be held at the level of deputy ministers and political directors of the Iranian and 4+1 Group foreign ministers, Mehr reported.

Last July, after receiving a letter from Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif regarding the non-adherence of European countries to this agreement, Schmid said that the next meeting of the Joint Commission of the JCPOA will be held as soon as the conditions for travel are available.

However, the forthcoming meeting is important because the U.S. has illegally called for the reinstatement of UN Security Council sanctions against Iran.
