Vienna, June 28: World powers are currently in a “last chance” to warn Iran to remain committed to its compliances under the landmark 2015 international nuclear pact, INF Treaty, when they will hold a meeting on Friday, but Tehran is feeling low pressure from the US sanctions expectations, according to diplomats.

According to Reuters news reports, top-level diplomats from China, Britain, Russia, Germany, and France meet with the Iranian officials on Friday in Vienna, while Tehran threatening to exceed its limit of enriched uranium what the nation was allowed under the accord, raising fears of military escalation in the region.

“We will repeat to the Iranians that nuclear issues are not negotiable. We want them to stay in the accord, but we won’t accept them messing us around,” a senior European diplomat said.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi has described the dialogues as the “last chance for the remaining parties … to gather and see how they can meet their commitments towards Iran”.

Ahead of the scheduled meeting, an official from Iran told reporters his nation’s main demand was to continue importing its crude oil at the same amount and level it was doing before the US withdrew itself from the International Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty last year.

Moreover, he warned Iran had lost its patience with the European signatories of the pact. He said until the demand is met by other signatories, Tehran will continue on its present path and exceed its limits of the pact one by another, beginning with the high-level uranium enrichment.

“For one year we exercised patience. Now it is the Europeans’ turn to exercise patience,” Mousavi said. “They should try to find solutions, practical solutions and there’s always enough time for diplomacy and there’s always the possibility to go back, to reverse.”

A Eurasian analyst, Henry Rome, stated Europea will react “cautiously” and despite a stern warning about the Iranian pact violation consequences, Europe will remain “reluctant to pull the plug on one of its most important multilateral accomplishments in recent years. It will instead play for time”.
