State Department: US welcomes Iran's decision to drop some non-JCPOA requirements

“Of course, we are encouraged by the fact that Iran has decided to abandon a number of demands, such as the lifting of sanctions against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” Price was quoted by RIA Novosti.

He stated that a number of contentious issues remain between the parties.

According to him, the United States is still studying the proposals submitted by Iran.

Earlier it was reported that Iran withdrew the requirement to exclude the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the list of terrorist organizations in the United States as part of the negotiations to restore the nuclear deal (JCPOA).
