Iran's chief negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, announced today that Tehran has presented substantive ideas to facilitate an agreement from the Vienna negotiations.
"We shared our proposed ideas, both on substance and form, to pave the way for a swift conclusion of Vienna negotiations which were aimed at fixing the damaging complicated situation caused by the US unilateral and unlawful withdrawal," Bagheri Kani said in a tweet on Twitter.

He continued, "We work closely with our JCPOA partners, in particular the Coordinator, to give another chance to the US to demonstrate good faith and act responsibly. As Iran, we stand ready to conclude the negotiations in short order, should the other side be ready to do the same."
Borrell announced, a few days ago, in an article published in the Financial Times, that he had submitted a draft text on the Iranian nuclear program commenting that the text included "hard-won compromises by all sides", and that he does not see any "other comprehensive or effective alternative within reach." He appealed to the conflicting parties to accept it: "If the deal is rejected, we risk a dangerous nuclear crisis."
