State Department spokesman Ned Price told a press conference on Thursday, “Our review of Iran’s comments on the EU’s proposal continues. We have continued to convey our feedback directly and privately to the EU, as has been requested.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said, “We have conveyed our viewpoints through the European Union’s representative to other parties, including the United States, and are awaiting a response.”
