"Western countries politicised multilateral discussions in #Vienna to the maximum possible extent. But now they apparently started to understand that such policy doesn’t correspond to their own interests. Our position will depend on their own policy. If necessary, we will respond" Mikhail Ulyanov wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday.
Last Tuesday, the Russian envoy wrote in a tweet on Tuesday that Western states expressed numerous complaints and concerns about the nuclear program of Iran at Tuesday's meeting in the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"It’s difficult to take them seriously because the #US and #E3 can help settle these problems fast if they return to the #ViennaTalks to finalize the agreement on #JCPOA," he also said.
Last week European Union delivered a statement to the IAEA Board of Governors on the verification and monitoring in Iran in light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231.
In their statement, the EU states falsely blamed Iran for not concluding last August's talks to revive the JCPOA. This is while it was the US government that did not respond to a draft text prepared by the European powers to conclude the last year's talks to revive the JCPOA after witnessing the indifference of European countries to its continued violations of the deal since its withdrawal in May 2018.
