Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Baqeri Kani negotiator said that the JCPOA countries are now closer to an agreement than any time before.
He wrote on his Twitter account on Wednesday that “After weeks of intensive talks, we are closer than ever to an agreement; nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, though.
Our negotiating partners need to be realistic, avoid intransigence, and heed lessons of past 4yrs.
Time for their serious decisions.”
The eighth round of talks on lifting sanctions in Vienna began on January 26 and has now reached a point where the success or failure of the talks depends solely on the political decisions of the West.
If the Western parties make the necessary decisions, the remaining issues can be resolved and a final agreement reached within a few days.
Based on the principles and instructions, the Iranian delegation has put its clear proposals and demands on the remaining issues on the table, and now it is the west that has to make its own decisions.
In another development also here today, Baqeri Kani held talks with the European coordinator of the talks Enrique Mora.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Diplomacy Mehdi Safari met with his Austrian counterpart Peter Lavensky Tiefenthal in Vienna.
During the meeting, Safari underscored Iran’s frank determination to get to a successful conclusion in Vienna talks and believed striking necessary agreements to expand economic and trade relations between Iran and Austria depended on this issue.
