Vienna Talks

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the outcome of the Vienna talks on the 2015 nuclear deal hinges on Washington’s decision to remove sanctions and commit itself to other outstanding issues.

Top negotiators of Iran and the three European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal are briefly leaving Vienna for their respective capitals, while expert-level negotiations continue in the Austrian capital.

A senior Russian diplomat criticizes “regrettable” and “senseless” attempts by opponents of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal to sabotage the diplomatic process that is making headway in Vienna with the aim of reviving the embattled accord.

110 Republican lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to abandon negotiations with Iran aimed at saving the 2015 nuclear deal and impose new sanctions against Tehran, according to a letter sent Wednesday to the US State Department and obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Vienna negotiations aimed at reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are speeding up and the chances for reaching a solution have increased, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says.

Intensive negotiations are underway in the Austrian capital Vienna where senior diplomats of Iran and the P4+1 group are focusing on removal of sanctions imposed by the United States against the Islamic Republic.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says a good deal can be reached between Tehran and the P4+1 group of countries in Vienna if there is serious determination on the part of all sides.

Iran’s chief negotiator in the Vienna talks Ali Bagheri Kani says the negotiations aimed at lifting sanctions on Tehran are moving forward.

A top Russian diplomat says Vienna talks over the revival of the Iran nuclear deal as well as lifting of anti-Iran sanctions are moving ahead.

The top Russian negotiator in the Vienna talks has denied reports that Russia and China persuaded Iran to drop some of its demands in the talks.
