WASHINGTON, 05 March 2022, (TON): The United States said that a possible deal on a new Iranian nuclear accord is close but several sticking points have prevented an agreement and time is running out.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters “negotiators meeting in Vienna to try and salvage the 2015 nuclear deal, which is meant to prevent Tehran from acquiring an atomic bomb, have made significant progress.”
She said “we are close to a possible deal, but a number of difficult issues still remain unsolved.”
She added “we will not have a deal unless we resolve quickly the remaining issues.”
However, “if Iran shows seriousness, we can and should reach an understanding of mutual return to full implementation of the JCPOA within days,” she said..
Enrique Mora, the European Union’s coordinator for the talks, also said they were in the “final stages.”
