A former Iranian diplomat says it’s highly unlikely Iran and the P4+1 group of countries reach an inclusive deal in the Vienna talks.

Iran’s foreign minister says finalizing a deal in the Vienna talks calls for a realistic approach by the US.

Iran’s former foreign minister and director of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations says the required guarantees, removal of sanctions and taking the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps out of the US list of 'terror groups'، are among the key issues that should be resolved before any agreement on the 2015 nuclear deal in the Vienna talks.

Iran's foreign minister says the lack of a political decision on the part of America to remove anti-Iran sanctions poses an obstacle to the achievement of final results in the Vienna talks.

The Iranian foreign minister says Tehran has put forth some initiatives to the US through the EU coordinator regarding the highly important remaining issues in the Vienna talks.

The Iranian foreign minister says the resolution of the remaining issues in the Vienna talks, which are red lines for Iran, is contingent on the will of the US side and its decision to avoid wasting time.

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani says Iranian negotiators will remain in Vienna until they reach a robust deal with the P4+1 group of countries and achieve the nation’s legal and logical rights. Shamkhani said this on his Twitter account on Monday.

The former spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry has said the Islamic Republic has a right to demand explanation from Russia over the pause in the Vienna talks.

An ex-Iranian lawmaker says the demands abruptly put on the negotiating table by Russia in Vienna are a “serious obstacle” to the conclusion of an agreement aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, adding that Moscow made such a move in coordination with Israel.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says all parties are determined to return to the talks in Vienna on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, but it is not clear when that happens.
