Personally, I don't think we can come to a conclusion this week,

” Abbas Araghchi told the Iranian public broadcaster following the resumption of the sixth round of negotiations in Vienna.

At the end of the meeting in the Austrian capital, the Russian representative Mikhail Ulyanov also estimated that the negotiators needed "a few additional weeks to tidy up the existing text", according to a statement on Twitter.

The Iranians are being called to the polls to nominate the successor of President Hassan Rouhani, the main architect, on the Iranian side, of this agreement concluded in July 2015 with the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.

” (JCPOA, to use its acronym) offers Iran sanctions relief in exchange for a drastic reduction in its nuclear program, which is under strict control by the International Security Agency. atomic energy (IAEA).

But former President Donald Trump reinstated the US sanctions the agreement lifted and launched a campaign of "

maximum pressure

" against Iran with additional sanctions.

The moderate-reformist government of Mr. Rouhani has promised the Iranians the lifting of sanctions before the end of his mandate.

He hopes for a compromise in Vienna before handing over to the next president in August.
