Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov said on Saturday that the US restoring sanctions waivers to Iran, which allowed it to use the assistance of other countries in the field of nuclear energy, may slow the implementation of Iran's nuclear program.

Ulyanov tweeted: “Clear provisions of the Iranian nuclear deal are totally misinterpreted by opponents. The US maximum pressure policy remains the major factor in the advancement of the Iranian nuclear program. Probably waivers can slow it down.”

On Friday, the US administration restored sanctions waivers to Iran as indirect negotiations in Vienna concerning the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal near its final stages. US officials denied granting Iran any concessions, saying this move is a critical gesture to build support for returning to the deal and bringing other parties - UK, France, Germany, Russia, China, and the European Union - on board.

Despite the State Department’s claims, Iran seems to be able to leverage its position notably with Washington’s internal disputes exhausting policymakers. The eighth round of nuclear talks began last month and was halted last week. 

On Thursday, the European Commission announced that the current round is set to resume soon in the Austrian capital, with speculations now indicating that it's most probably going to occur at the start of next week.
