Talks in Vienna on the revival of the 2015 agreement on Iran’s nuclear program have made “significant progress,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said today.
Iran’s top security official, Ali Samhani, said talks with European negotiators were continuing and more would be held, with no talks with the United States on the agenda at the moment, as they would yield “no progress”.
Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington have been taking place in Vienna since last April amid concerns over the development of Iran’s nuclear program.
Although Hatibzadeh said significant progress had been made, he also noted that “nothing has been agreed until everything is agreed.”
“The remaining issues are the most difficult,” he explained.
Reuters reported last week that an agreement between Iran and the United States has begun to emerge, after months of indirect negotiations to revive the 2015 agreement, from which Washington unilaterally withdrew in 2018 under Donald Trump.
The draft agreement addresses other issues, including the release of billions of dollars in Iranian funds held by South Korean banks and the release of Western detainees held in Iran.
Tehran is ready to exchange prisoners with the United States, the Iranian foreign minister said on Saturday, adding that talks on reviving the nuclear deal could be reached “as soon as possible” if the United States takes the necessary political decisions.
