Iran urges US to respond "realistic" to revive nuclear deal
Iran's foreign minister urged the United States on Saturday for a "realistic response" to Iran's proposals at indirect talks in Vienna aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal Tehran struck with world powers, state media reported.
These statements come as talks continued on Saturday for the third day, and few expect to reach a compromise while the progress of Tehran's uranium enrichment program.
"Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed the need for a realistic US response to Iran's constructive proposals on several issues to activate the agreement," state media said, without giving details of the proposals.
Iranian media have indicated that the sticking point in talks to revive the deal may be Iran's failure to respond to the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency, which requested an explanation for what it claims are traces of uranium, with Tehran insisting that the nuclear deal stripped its nuclear program of any potential military aspect. .
Little remains of the 2015 agreement between Iran and the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, under which sanctions were lifted on Tehran in return for limits on Iranian enrichment activities that the West fears could lead to the making of atomic bombs.
