About two weeks ago, negotiators in Vienna announced that Vienna talks on BRICS had been suspended and that negotiating delegations would return to their capitals for consultations. Yesterday, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s representative to international organizations in Vienna, Austria, said that the eighth round of Vienna talks on Iran’s nuclear program had not yet been completed. The Russian representative added: “I believe that when the final differences between Iran and the United States are resolved, the current participants of the UN Security Council will return to Vienna to finalize the agreement.”

The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a meeting with Enrique Mora, EU Deputy Foreign Minister and Coordinator of the Vienna talks in Tehran, said: “The lack of a US political decision to lift the sanctions is an obstacle to achieving the final results and Complete economic interests and effective lifting of sanctions are a top priority.
