TEHRAN, Iran — The European Union’s coordinator for talks to restore the Iran nuclear deal, Enrique Mora, says he’s hoping to close gaps in the negotiations ahead of his expected arrival in Tehran.
Iran has been engaged in negotiations to revive the accord with Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia directly, and the United States indirectly, since April 2021.
The EU diplomat, who coordinates talks between Iran and the US, is due to arrive in Tehran tonight, state news agency IRNA reports. He is scheduled to meet Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri tomorrow.
“Working on closing the remaining gaps in the #ViennaTalks on the #JCPOA,” Mora tweets ahead of his trip. “We must conclude this negotiation. Much is at stake.”
Concerned parties have signaled for weeks that the negotiations are close to an agreement, but that “political decisions” are required from Tehran and Washington.
Western parties have been pushing for the talks to be concluded “urgently” given the accelerated pace of Iran’s nuclear program.
