TEHRAN - Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Tuesday Iran is ready to negotiate the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal and removal of the sanctions with the other parties based on a "September document."

He made the remarks at a meeting attended by a number of senior Iranian diplomats and academics in the Iranian capital Tehran, while highlighting the administration's resolve to "restore the rights of the Iranian people and lift the sanctions on the country," official news agency IRNA reported.

By "September document," the Iranian foreign minister refers to the final draft of an agreement prepared last fall as part of the months-long talks in the Austrian capital Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)

By "September document," the Iranian foreign minister refers to the final draft of an agreement prepared last fall as part of the months-long talks in the Austrian capital Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), before the negotiations reach a stalemate after US refused to guarantee that it would not withdraw from the pact again like what had happened in 2018, according to IRNA.

At the meeting, Amir-Abdollahian elaborated on the approaches pursued by the incumbent administration under President Ebrahim Raisi toward the sanctions, saying efforts are being made to "neutralize the sanctions on the one hand and keep the negotiations' window open to lifting the embargoes on the other."

Iran signed the JCPOA with world powers in July 2015, agreeing to put some curbs on its nuclear program in return for the removal of the sanctions on the country. The United States, however, pulled out of the deal in May 2018 and reimposed its unilateral sanctions on Tehran, prompting the latter to drop some of its nuclear commitments under the deal.

The negotiations for the revival of the JCPOA commenced in April 2021 in Austria's capital Vienna. Despite several rounds of talks, no significant breakthrough has been achieved since the end of the last round in August 2022.
