TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI)
deplored procrastination in carrying out a comprehensive nuclear deal with
world powers, saying some foreign banks still refrain from lifting sanctions
against Iran for fear of possible breach of their old commitments.
In an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news website, Ali Akbar Salehi said
the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) is
dragging its feet over terminating the anti-Iran sanctions under the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Salehi said the other side should be held accountable for the delay in
lifting the sanctions against Iran.
Some major European banks have not yet lifted their sanctions on Iran,
Salehi deplored, citing the undertakings they had already given to the US
not to launch trade interaction with Iran.
He noted that Iran’s Foreign Ministry needs to negotiate with the European
Union to remove that obstacle.
The JCPOA officially took effect on January 16 and terminated all
nuclear-related sanctions on Iran.
Iranian banks could reconnect to Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (SWIFT) for banking transactions after implementation of
the nuclear deal.
