“
Iran must decide if it insists on conditions that have nothing to do
” with nuclear “
or if it wants to conclude an agreement quickly
”, a spokesman for the American diplomacy told AFP .
“
We and our partners have been ready for some time.
The ball is in Iran's
court,” he added.
The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell estimated on Friday that the "
very positive
" visit to Tehran this week by his emissary Enrique Mora had made it possible to relaunch the talks which were "
at a standstill
".
Negotiations “
have been reopened
” and “
there is a prospect of reaching a final agreement
he said in Wangels, northern Germany where he is attending a meeting of G7 foreign ministers.
"
We thank, as always
", Enrique Mora "
and his team for their efforts and look forward to having more detailed discussions with them
", assured the American spokesperson.
“
That being said, at this stage an agreement remains far from certain
”, he relativized.
The negotiations launched a year ago in Vienna between Tehran and the major powers aim to save the 2015 text supposed to frame the Iranian nuclear program, moribund since the unilateral withdrawal in 2018 of the United States which, under Donald Trump, reimposed suffocating sanctions on Iran, resulting in its gradual disengagement from the agreement.
