UN Calls On US, Iran To Return To Terms Of 2015 Nuclear Deal

Iran Nuclear Deal: The deal has been on life support since 2018, when former president Donald Trump pulled the US out of the accord.

The UN Tuesday urged Washington to lift sanctions on Tehran in line with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, while calling on the Islamic republic to return to commitments to limit its nuclear program.

"I appeal to the United States to lift or waive its sanctions as outlined in the plan and extend the waivers regarding the trade in oil with the Islamic Republic of Iran," said Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.

"Also important is the extension of US waivers regarding certain civilian nuclear-related activities," she told the UN Security Council, as negotiations resumed in Vienna on reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, as the nuclear deal is formally known.

She added waiver extensions were also needed for exchanging enriched uranium out of Iran for natural uranium.
