No indirect diplomacy between Iran, US: Security source tells Press TV

A security source has rejected recent remarks by White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan about ongoing indirect diplomacy between Iran and the United States over Washington's return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Speaking to Press TV on Tuesday, the source said on the condition of anonymity that the US officials’ claims about indirect talks with Iran are only meant to get President Joe Biden out of crisis.

The source, that is close to the Supreme National Security Council, added that all Iranian authorities are obligated to implement the Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions, a law passed last December by the Iranian Parliament.

The legislation called on the government to take further steps away from the 2015 nuclear deal after the deadline set by Iran for the sanctions removal was missed.

The source noted that no talks will be held between Tehran and Washington until the full lifting of sanctions.
