The spokesman did not provide details to Iranian media, but called the plan “constructive.”
The international nuclear deal signed with Iran in 2015 has been in the refrigerator for years. The agreement with the US, China, Russia, France, Germany and the UK aims to impose restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program so that the country cannot develop nuclear weapons. In response, sanctions on Iran were lifted. However, former US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew his country from the agreement in 2018 and reimposed sanctions. Later, Iran also began violating the terms of the deal, including by enriching more uranium than allowed.
After talks in Vienna in early August, the EU presented a compromise plan to bring all parties back into the group. The US and Iran have already responded to the proposal. European foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell said on Wednesday that he expects talks with Iran on the nuclear deal to be concluded successfully “in a few days”.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also said the EU speech that day should include “strong guarantees”.
