French Initiative on 'Iran Deal 2' Unacceptable to Tehran – Senior Lawmaker

Paris is trying to convince signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to work out a new deal with Tehran, retaining the arrangements of the JCPOA while creating a more complete document which all parties, including the US, can agree on. Senior Iranian lawmaker Hossein Naghavi-Hosseini told Sputnik why the French idea is unacceptable.

"Iran is ready to participate in the negotiations process for the existing JCPOA, but only in the framework of a discussion on its implementation, and not on its adjustment or the introduction of some new points to the signed documents," Naghavi-Hosseini said, speaking to Sputnik Persian.

The Iranian parliament's JCPOA commission head emphasized that "the only subject of negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the three European signatories of the JCPOA is how ready they are to guarantee the fulfilment of their obligations under the agreement, and guarantee compensation to Iran for the damage Tehran will incur due to US sanctions."
