Iranian
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has accused the US, along
with some other Western countries, of "seeking to cause chaos" in Iran
to force its concessions in the talks on reviving a 2015 nuclear deal.
Amir-Abdollahian made the accusation at a joint press
conference with his Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic following their
meeting in Serbia's capital Belgrade, Xinhua news agency reported.
"We do not let anybody incite riots and terrorism in our country," he was quoted by the Iranian Students' News Agency as saying.
Protests
have erupted in Iran after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in a Tehran
hospital on September 16, a few days after her collapse at a police
station. Iran has accused the US and some other Western countries of
"inciting riots and supporting terrorists" in the country.
Speaking
of his recent phone call with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell,
Amir-Abdollahian said, "Only a lasting agreement capable of safeguarding
Iranian people's interests would be valuable to Iran."
Iran
signed the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA), with world powers in July 2015, agreeing to put
some curbs on its nuclear program in return for the removal of the
sanctions on the country. The United States, however, pulled out of the
deal in 2018 and reimposed its sanctions on Iran, prompting the latter
to drop some of its nuclear commitments under the deal.
The talks
on the JCPOA's revival began in April 2021 in Vienna. No breakthrough
was achieved in the latest round of negotiations in early August.
