Iran announced tonight (Wednesday) that nuclear talks with the powers will resume on November 29 in Vienna. The announcement was made by the head of Tehran's nuclear negotiating team, Ali Bagri Kani, following talks with the EU envoy for talks, Enrique Morca. Talks were halted in June, ahead of the Iranian presidential election, in which extremist cleric Ibrahim Raisi won.
In Washington, the State Department said it welcomed the EU announcement of coordinating Iran's participation in the talks, which would be led by the US special envoy to the Iranian issue, Rob Mali. "For the talks to be successful, they need to start exactly where the sixth round of talks in Vienna ended," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ned Price told a news conference. He said Washington further believes that understandings can be quickly reached and implemented on mutual reciprocity of the nuclear deal.
The United States, under the administration of former President Donald Trump, withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed sanctions on Iran, which in response violated most of its commitments and accelerated uranium enrichment.
Democrat President Joe Biden's current administration in Washington wants to return to the agreement signed in 2015, but Iran insists it must lift all sanctions and ensure a future president can not abandon the deal again.
Iran has tightened its stance.
