Expressing the hope of the European Union to reach the Vienna agreement “in the next few days”

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, Josep Borrell, the head of the European Union’s foreign policy, expressed hope that an agreement would be reached in the negotiations to lift the sanctions in Vienna “within the next few days”.

Last night, the spokesperson of the US Foreign Ministry, in response to some reports that claimed that an agreement would be reached in the coming days, said that an understanding has not yet been reached.

“You know that for more than three weeks, as the EU facilitator, I have proposed a draft text to conclude the Vienna talks,” said Josep Burrell. I have received feedback from all boards. I have received their opinions from Iran and the United States, which I considered both reasonable.”

He added: “It is clear to me that there are common grounds between the parties and we can reach an agreement that takes into account everyone’s concerns and I hope that in the coming days, according to these logical opinions that both sides – both Iran and “The United States has presented me. We will not lose this positive situation and we will conclude the agreement.”

“John Kirby”, the coordinator of strategic communications in the National Security Council of the White House, said tonight that Washington still hopes to reach an agreement in the negotiations to lift the sanctions in Vienna.

“We still hope we can,” John Kirby said [به توافقی] To re-implement the JCPOA… We believe that we are better than where we were in the past [به توافق] We are closer.”

The new round of talks on lifting Iran sanctions was held in Vienna a few weeks ago. This round of negotiations was held after EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell claimed in an article in the Financial Times newspaper that he had put a new proposal package on the table that contains updated solutions regarding the lifting of sanctions and Iran’s nuclear steps.

The Islamic Republic of Iran announced on August 24 that it has submitted its response and considerations regarding the proposals of the European Union. America has also given its own answer to this text. EU foreign policy official Josep Borrell has described Iran’s and America’s responses as “reasonable”.

Nasser Kanani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced last Wednesday (2nd of Shahrivar) that he had received the response of the US government to the views of the Islamic Republic of Iran to resolve the remaining issues in the sanctions lifting negotiations, through the European coordinator of the talks.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced: The detailed review of the American side’s comments has begun, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will announce its views in this regard to the coordinator after completing the reviews.

Analysts say that some factors such as pressure from the Zionist regime, disagreements with Congress and internal problems in the United States have been the reason for the reluctance of the Biden administration to return to the JCPOA in the past months.

Biden came to office in 2021 when the policy of maximum pressure against Iran had failed to achieve its goals. In addition to failing to form a new nuclear agreement, this policy caused division in the relations between the countries on both sides of the Atlantic, endangering the effectiveness of the sanctions system as one of the main tools of American foreign policy, and most importantly, strengthening the anti-arrogance trend in Iran. .

The Islamic Republic of Iran has made the verification of the lifting of sanctions, obtaining guarantees regarding the durability of the JCPOA and the removal of safeguards claims of the Atomic Agency as its main demands in the negotiations to lift the sanctions and has emphasized that only returning to the bilateral agreement, which in exchange for some restrictions, will bring tangible economic benefits to the Iranian nation. He considers it logical to be accompanied and accepts it.
