Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with Secretary-General for Foreign Affairs in the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs of Austria Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal.

During the phone talk, the sides conferred on the historical and friendly relations between the two countries as well as the latest JCPOA developments.

Criticizing the inaction of European counties regarding their JCPOA commitments, Araghchi described any attempt to pass an anti-Iranian resolution in IAEA Board of Governors as unconstructive, adding that the move will threaten diplomacy, especially after the recent agreement between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
