UNITED NATIONS (Dispatches) -- United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has called on the U.S. to fully remove or waive the sanctions it has imposed on Iran.
Guterres made the appeal to Washington in a report to the UN Security Council amid ongoing talks between the remaining signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal in the Austrian capital of Vienna aimed at reviving it. “I appeal to the United States to lift or waive its sanctions outlined in the plan,” said Guterres, who also appealed to Iran to return to full implementation of the deal.
