Deputy foreign ministers of Iran and major powers will meet in Vienna on Friday to review the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Iran intends to again make a complaint over the US failure to implement the landmark accord in good faith, a senior Iranian diplomat told Kyodo News in a recent talk. “The US is regularly violating the nuclear deal and this is a source of concern for Iran. Therefore, we will raise this issue in Vienna,” Ambassador to Britain Hamid Baeidinejad said. Iran believes that Washington is scaring European traders about the consequences of working with Iranian companies and it is necessary for the European Union to resolve the matter for the sake of the deal. Iran and the EU have differences over some crucial issues, including Tehran’s ballistic missile program. “All we have agreed is that nuclear deal has no link to the other issues,” Baeidinejad said. A day before the Vienna gathering, European powers will meet with American officials in Berlin. “The agenda of the Berlin meeting is not to prepare for another negotiation over Iran’s missile or regional issues. We have been assured that Britain’s position in the Berlin meeting will be to convince the US to keep adhering to the deal,” he said.
