Iran sanctions removal soon but no date set: EU's Mogherini
The European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says no firm timeframe has been set yet for the removal of sanctions against Iran but the move could come soon.
"There is no set date yet. The date is going to be related to the full implementation of all the steps that need to be taken," Mogherini told reporters on Monday after a meeting with Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek in Prague.
She said she expects that the removal of the sanctions “could come rather soon” and emphasized that the sides are fulfilling their commitments "well."
Iran and the P5+1 group of countries - the United States, Britain, France, China, and Russia plus Germany - finalized the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on July 14, 2015.
Under the JCPOA, limits are put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.
