US State Department: Iran said it will resume Vienna talks very soon
The United States believes that the resumption of indirect talks in Vienna over a return to the Iran nuclear deal is necessary and “imminent” because the process cannot go on indefinitely, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said on Thursday.
Price said a diplomatic path is still open, noting that Tehran had said it would return to the talks "soon".
"We hope their definition of soon matches our definition of soon," Price said. "We would like negotiations to resume in Vienna as soon as possible."
It is noteworthy that Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein AmirAbdollahian said on September 24 that Iran would return to negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal "very soon."
Moscow had also called on all JCPOA partners, including Tehran and Washington, to return to the negotiation table as soon as possible.
Earlier in September, the US State Department spokesperson expressed his country's readiness to return to the Vienna negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal.
