Iran-US talks in Doha end without result: Report
TEHRAN, Iran (AA) – Indirect talks between Iran and the US to revive the 2015 nuclear deal ended in the Qatari capital Doha without a result, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News reported.
Tasnim, citing sources, said the talks mediated by the EU ended, for now, blaming the cessation of the talks on the US insistence on restoring the 2015 accord without giving guarantees of “economic benefits” to Iran.
The state news agency IRNA, however, quoted informed sources as saying that the Doha talks were still underway.
The indirect talks between Iran and the US resumed in Doha on Tuesday, two days after EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell dashed off to Tehran to revive the stalled nuclear negotiations.
Borrell said his trip to Tehran had one important objective — to break the deadlock in the nuclear talks, reduce tensions and create fresh impetus and opportunity to put stalled talks back on the track.
The key disagreements between Tehran and Washington include the de-listing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, economic benefits for Iran, and guarantees that the future US administration will not walk out of the deal again.
Tasnim said that the EU played the role of mediator and transmitter of messages between Iran and the US in this round and that Tehran reiterated the need for a lasting agreement.
