Iran nuclear talks in Vienna as Tehran expands enrichment

TEHRAN, 05 August 2022, (TON): Negotiators from Iran, the United States and the European Union prepared to resume monthslong, indirect talks over Tehran’s tattered nuclear deal, even as international inspectors acknowledged the Islamic Republic began a new expansion of its uranium enrichment.

The resumption of the Vienna talks, suddenly called, appears not to include high-level representation from all the countries part of Iran’s 2015 deal with word powers.

That comes as Western officials express growing skepticism over a deal to restore the accord and the EU’s top diplomat has warned “the space for additional significant compromises has been exhausted.”

Iran’s top negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, had arrived in Vienna for the talks, Iranian state media reported. US Special Representative for Iran Rob Malley also was on hand, tweeting Wednesday that “our expectations are in check.”
