"For us, this is an urgent priority," US diplomacy spokesman Ned Price in Washington told reporters.
“This process cannot go on indefinitely,” he reiterated, refusing to give an ultimatum.
"We urge Iran to return to the negotiating table quickly to try to conclude our work," he said.
"Our message to President Raïssi is the same as our message to his predecessor": "We hope that Iran now seizes the opportunity to find diplomatic solutions," he added.
The new Iranian president, an ultraconservative, was sworn in Thursday before Parliament, claiming to be open to "any diplomatic plan" for the lifting of sanctions undermining the country's economy, while warning that Iran would not give in to the " pressure and sanctions ”.
Prevent Tehran from acquiring the atomic bomb
US President Joe Biden has said he is ready to return to the 2015 agreement supposed to prevent Tehran from acquiring the atomic bomb, which his predecessor Donald Trump had withdrawn from the United States, on condition that Iran again respects restrictions on its nuclear program.
To save this text, Washington will have to lift the sanctions against Iran suspended in 2015 but reinstated under the Trump era.
