Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a joint news conference, in Tehran, with the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell that indirect talks between Iran and the US regarding the 2015 nuclear pact will resume soon.

"We are prepared to resume talks in the coming days. What is important for Iran is to fully receive the economic benefits of the 2015 accord," said Amir-Abdollahian, adding that he had held a "long but positive meeting" with Borrell.

The EU official, in turn, stated that "We are expected to resume talks in the coming days and break the impasse. It has been three months and we need to accelerate the work. I am very happy about the decision that has been made in Tehran and Washington."

Previously, Amir-Abdollahian had said that had the US dealt "realistically" during the last round of talks in Vienna, the member states would have been closer than ever to signing an accord.

Earlier, on June 8, the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors adopted a draft resolution submitted by the US and the E3, criticizing Iran for what they claim were incomplete answers given to the IAEA on uranium traces at "undeclared sites". These claims were quickly refuted by the Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, who said that Iran has neither secret nor unwritten nuclear activities nor unreported nuclear sites.

Following that report, Iran had abandoned all commitments beyond the Safeguards Agreement in response to the IAEA's Board of Governors' adoption of an anti-Iran resolution, an Iranian lawmaker revealed, condemning the resolution passed by the agency.
