Iran reviewing US response to EU plan for nuclear deal
TEHRAN, Iran (AA) – Iran has said it has received a response from the US to an EU-drafted plan to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal and is reviewing it.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Tehran is making a “detailed review” of the US response, which was received through EU coordinator Josep Borrell.
Iran will offer its comments on the US response through the EU coordinator after “carefully studying it,” he said.
Talks between Iran and world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal have been underway since April last year, marked by multiple interruptions.
Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief and the coordinator of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, proposed a new draft proposal after the latest round of talks in Vienna earlier this month, which came after a five-month hiatus.
Borrell on Monday termed the Iranian response “reasonable,” while exuding confidence that it will help the parties “to complete the negotiations.”
