USA and EU are losing sanctions from Iran

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the fulfillment by Iran of all obligations adopted by the country under the nuclear program. After that, the United States and the EU announced the lifting of sanctions against Iran, the BBC reports .

The statement of the head of the IAEA Yukia Amano was published on Saturday. It notes that Iran completed all the necessary preparatory steps to start the implementation of a joint comprehensive plan of action under the nuclear program. "In accordance with the obligations, Iran will first implement an additional protocol as part of the security agreement with the IAEA," the document says.

“In response to the steps that Iran took, the USA and the EU will immediately rescue the sanctions,” said Secretary of State John Kerry. In particular, restrictions on companies that collaborated with Iran in the field of oil production were canceled. At the same time, the Secretary of State emphasized that we are talking only about those sanctions that were adopted precisely in connection with Iran's nuclear program.

A number of restrictions introduced by the US authorities continue to act. The sanctions list remained 200 people and companies related to Iran. The restrictions on the cooperation of American companies and individuals with the authorities of the Islamic Republic are also in force.

The Supreme EU representative in foreign policy Federic Mogherini said that sanctions imposed by both the European Union and separate countries included in it will be lifted. The decision to cancel the sanctions will enter into force immediately after the official publication.

Removing sanctions will lead to the final normalization of the situation around Iran, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. "Russia played a key role in creating conditions for the implementation of the SVPD. As a result of close interaction between the state corporation on the atomic energy" Rosatom "and the Iranian atomic energy organization, the entire intensified uranium provided for the territory of the Islamic Republic, which was one of the central and most time -consuming conditions," the Foreign Ministry said .

On April 3, 2015, six intermediaries, including five permanent members of the United States of the UN and Germany, entered into a framework agreement with Iran on the gradual relief of sanctions from this country in exchange for reducing the scale of its nuclear program. Under the terms of agreements, Iran agreed to regular inspections of his nuclear facilities with this organization. Iran reduced the supply of enriched uranium and the number of attitudes for its enrichment. In addition, the authorities of the Middle East country agreed to rebuild the reactor on heavy water located in Eraka, so that it could not produce weapons plutonium.

On July 17, representatives of Iran and the Six have successfully completed work on a comprehensive agreement on the nuclear program . Iran assumes the obligation to abandon any attempts to create nuclear weapons in exchange for lifting sanctions. At the same time, the UN embargo for the supply of Iran will be preserved for five years, for the supply of missile technologies - eight. The agreement provides a mechanism for restoring sanctions within 65 days if Iran violates the agreements. Magate will control their implementation.

In November, Iranian oil Minister Bijan Nasdar Zangan said that Iran did not intend to coordinate the issue of increasing oil supplies to the world market after the abolition of sanctions or asking for permission from this organization. The Minister confirmed that Iran intends to increase oil exports by 500 thousand barrels per day. The fifth largest manufacturer in OPEC will inform the group only after increasing export, Zangan noted.

“The fall in prices will not be a problem for us,” the minister said. “This should be a problem for those who replaced Iran.” The country does not expect difficulties with sales of additional barrels. “The market takes into account our return,” the minister emphasized.
