During the conversation, Amir-Aabdollahian thanked the EU high
representative for foreign affairs and security policy for his role
on the path of dialogue and interaction, the ministry said on its
website.
He meanwhile lodged criticism against the
'diplomatically-impolite rhetoric' of one or two European
ministers, saying they were under the influence of wrong
information, which could do damage to the bloc's strategic
goals.
The top Iranian diplomat urged Borrell to play his important
role in preventing the bloc from making 'unconstructive' moves in
bilateral relations, according to the ministry.
The two sides also discussed the latest developments of the
Vienna negotiations for reviving the Iranian 2015 nuclear deal, and
cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy
Agency.
For his part, Borrell underscored his efforts to facilitate an
agreement among all sides.
Iran signed the nuclear deal, officially called 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 reduce some of its nuclear
commitments under the deal.
The talks on the JCPOA's revival began in April 2021 in Vienna.
No breakthrough had been achieved after the latest round of
negotiations in early August.
