PARIS, 13 January 2022, (TON): France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said “international negotiations on Iran’s nuclear activities are proceeding so slowly that they are unlikely to lead to any agreement “within a realistic timeframe.”
Le Drian told the French parliament “the discussions taking place in Vienna “are under way but from our point of view they are slow, too slow.”
He added “there is a vital urgency on this issue because of Iran’s own actions and the trajectory of its nuclear programme.”
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman had said that efforts by all parties to revive his country’s 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers had resulted in good progress during the Vienna talks.
Negotiations to salvage the nuclear deal resumed in late November after they were suspended in June as Iran elected a new, ultraconservative government.
The 2015 deal — agreed by Iran, the US, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany — offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme.
