BRUSSELS, 19 February 2022, (TON): A senior European Union official said on Friday that a U.S.-Iranian deal to revive Iran’s 2015 nuclear agreement was close but success depended on the political will of those involved.
The EU official said “I expect an agreement in the coming week, the coming two weeks or so.”
The official said “I think we have now on the table text that are very, very close to what is going to be the final agreement.”
Reuters reported on Feb. 17 details of a possible deal negotiated by envoys from Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany, the European Union and United States.
The official said “most of the issues are already agreed. But as a principle in this kind of negotiations, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. So we still have…some questions, some of them rather political and difficult to agree.”
The official said “a deal was necessary as Iran’s sensitive uranium enrichment programme was moving ahead quickly. Iran has always denied it is seeking nuclear weapons.”
