A senior Iranian lawmaker said Iran and the parties to the Vienna talks were close to an agreement, but that could require a new meeting, a news site reported.
Fadahossein Maleki, a member of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said, “The United States has shown a reaction that makes a new round of negotiations inevitable.”
Officials do not know when a deal will be reached, Maleki said, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Iran Frontpage news site.
Mr Maleki urged Washington to “show its determination to act wisely and resolve its differences at this critical time.”
On Wednesday, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said Iran had received through the European Union a response from the US government to Tehran’s views on resolving outstanding issues in negotiations on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal. . .
Kanani said Iran has begun to carefully assess the US side’s views and will inform the EU coordinator of its views after the review is complete.
Iran formally signed a nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with world powers in July 2015, agreeing to curb its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions against the country. But former US President Donald Trump withdrew Washington from the deal and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
Talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal began in Vienna in April 2021, but were suspended in March due to political differences between Tehran and Washington.
The latest round of nuclear talks took place in the Austrian capital Vienna in early August after a five-month hiatus. On August 8, the European Union submitted the “final document” of her draft decision on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal.
