EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says Iran’s response to his “final” draft proposal to renew the 2015 nuclear accord was “reasonable,” and that he is awaiting the US response to the Iranian position.
“There was a proposal from me as coordinator of the negotiations… and a response from Iran that I considered reasonable,” Borrell tells a university event in Spain, according to Reuters.
“It was transmitted to the United States which has not yet responded formally.”
US officials said over the weekend that Iran had dropped its demand that the US remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations in exchange for Tehran returning to compliance with the nuclear agreement.
