Iran FM says nuclear talks will restart 'very soon'

TEHRAN, 26 September 2021, (TON): The talks, brokered by the Europeans, seek the return of the United States to the 2015 agreement. Iran's foreign minister said that stalled talks on the Iranian nuclear accord would resume "very soon" but the United States responded by saying it wasn't sure what timeframe Tehran had in mind.

The talks, brokered by the Europeans, seek the return of the United States to the 2015 agreement trashed by former president Donald Trump, as well as Iran's return to full compliance.

"We are reviewing the Vienna negotiations files currently and very soon Iran's negotiations with the four plus one countries will recommence," Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told reporters in New York, referring to Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.

During a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the foreign minister said that we see a constructive type of negotiation that will lead to tangible verifiable results in the foreign policy of the new government in Iran.

Asked what Amir-Abdollahian meant by "very soon," a senior Iranian official said on condition of anonymity that "it can mean a few days, it can mean a few weeks."

The official said "as soon as we finish the review process, without any time to be wasted, we shall return to the negotiations table."
