VIENNA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 02nd April, 2021) The United States will not take part in the upcoming in-person meeting of the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna, since it is not a participant of the nuclear deal, a diplomatic source in the Austrian capital told Sputnik on Friday.
The Joint Commission of the JCPOA will convene for talks in Vienna on April 6 at the level of political directors. Tehran said earlier in the day that Washington would not participate.
"This was not discussed directly today. Indeed, since the US is not currently a JCPOA participant, it cannot be present at the meeting, especially given that Iranians do not want it," the source said.
"[US] experts are quite likely to come and stay somewhere nearby, but I do not have precise information so far. As of now, Iranians strongly oppose communication with Americans," the source added.
