“The Vienna deal (JCPOA) also stipulates that the inspectors that the agency (IAEA) will assign to conduct inspection in Iran should be from the countries with which Tehran has diplomatic ties. Hence, there will be no possibility of presence of American inspectors (in Iran) even in the future,” he pointed out.

Iran and the US have fundamental differences

Certainly, we will witness the better economic and political exchanges between Iran and European countries.”
