SHAFAQNA- The USA’s State Department said sanctions over Ukraine are “unrelated” to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the Iran nuclear deal is formally known. “The new Russia-related sanctions are unrelated to the JCPOA and should not have any impact on its potential implementation,” a USA’s State Department Spokesperson said. “We continue to engage with Russia on a return to full implementation of the JCPOA. Russia shares a common interest in ensuring Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. ”
At the Vienna talks, Russia is demanding guarantees from the USA that the sanctions targeting the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine would not hinder its trade with Iran.
