Share:Iran is completing preparations to resume talks in Vienna on rejoining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, in the "near future," the country's foreign minister said on Wednesday. "In the near future we will decide on the terms of the return to negotiations," said Abdollahian after his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Lavrov stressed that "attempts to link the restoration of the Iran nuclear deal with obtaining additional concessions from Iran are considered futile." After the June 18 election victory of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, these negotiations in Vienna were suspended. In the talks, Iran demands that all Western sanctions be lifted, while its interlocutors seek to reinstate controls on its nuclear program.
