Nuclear talks with Iran on right track for a final agreement, EU official says
The nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna are “on right track” and a final agreement might be within reach. The Vienna talks are on the restoration of the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal.
A senior European Union (EU) official announced the news on Friday. The EU official said, “We are on the right track for a final agreement.” The official also said that the slow pace of progress might put a “good solution” to several issues. According to Reuters, the official said, “My concern is about the timing. I have a feeling that we are going too slow. Still, I think that we will have an agreement.”
Last week, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also said that the final negotiation would take place within weeks.
