On the other hand, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday that the latest round of Iran nuclear talks had stalled because Tehran "does not seem to be serious" about returning to the table.
The White House claimed that Iran did not bring any constructive proposals to the table.
However, diplomatic sources said that the negotiations, which resumed at the beginning of the week and stopped Friday, are supposed to resume in the middle of next week to allow the parties to study the Iranian proposals.
Iran's lead negotiator in the Vienna talks, Ali Bagheri Kani, told Al Mayadeen on Friday his country was willing to suspend remedial measures if the opposing side removes its measures that violated the nuclear deal.
