Amir-Abdollahian: "We’re approaching an agreement"

In the same context, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed that Tehran "didn’t come to Vienna to have negotiations for negotiation's sake, but to have negotiations that result in a good agreement."

"I believe, we’ve never been so close to such a deal," he revealed.

In an interview for Euronews, Amir-Abdollahian highlighted that "we’re approaching an agreement; there are some remaining issues which are our red lines."

"So far, we’ve taken lots of initiatives and shown the required flexibility at the Vienna negotiating table," he added.

In less than a few hours

Asked about the outcomes of the nuclear deal, the Iranian minister indicated that "if the western side looks at what is going on in Vienna more realistically, in less than a few hours, we can finalize the deal."

He pointed out that "any exact timing for a deal is in the hands of the western side. It depends on their realism and their initiatives."

However, Amir-Abdollahian also revealed that "on several occasions when there were difficult phases of the negotiations, the western side raised the possibility of leaving the table."

Similarly, the Head of Russia's delegation to the Vienna talks, Mikhail Ulyanov, confirmed earlier on Twitter that "the negotiations on restoration of JCPOA are about to cross the finish line."

A crucial moment

In addition, EU Coordinator Enrique Mora also said the Vienna talks "are at a crucial moment."

"We are nearing the end after ten months of negotiations. The result is still uncertain. Key issues need to be fixed. But all delegations are fully engaged," he expressed.

Vienna witnessed several rounds of negotiations aimed at reviving the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal, which collapsed after the United States unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018.
