European Union: There is no specific date for reaching an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program
Enrique Mora, the European Union representative in the Vienna negotiations seeking to save the Iranian nuclear deal, confirmed that there is no specific date for reaching an agreement, at a time when a European diplomatic source said: “The task of the negotiating parties in Vienna is complicated because there are many different details about them. This tour is longer than the previous ones. ”
“There is no specific date for reaching an agreement, but time is not on our side,” Mora said after the conclusion of the fourth round of talks in the Austrian capital Vienna.
In turn, the Russian representative to international organizations, Mikhail Ulyanov, said: “The possible return of Washington to the nuclear agreement is placed on the negotiating table.”
The chief Iranian negotiator in the Vienna talks, Abbas Araghchi, revealed that the Americans are ready so far to lift a large part of the sanctions, but he considered that this does not meet all of his country’s demands, stressing the continuation of negotiations to achieve Tehran’s demands in this regard, according to what he told Iranian media means after the end of the talks.
In turn, US President Joe Biden expressed his belief that the Iranians are serious about negotiating in Vienna, but it is not clear to what extent. He pointed out during a press conference at the White House that their seriousness and their willingness to do what is necessary are two different things, and that the discussions are still continuing.
Indirect negotiations began at the beginning of last April in the Austrian capital Vienna between the United States and Iran, with the Europeans and the rest of the signatories to the agreement concluded in 2015 to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
