Iran asserts that nuclear talks are seeing ‘satisfactory’ progress
Ongoing talks in Vienna to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between world powers and Iran have seen “relatively satisfactory progress,” Iran’s negotiator Ali Bagheri says.
“Some written changes on the lifting of sanctions were established between the two parties and relatively satisfactory progress has been made over the first days of the eighth round of negotiations,” Bagheri says in a video published by Tasnim news agency.
His remarks come two days after negotiators from Britain, France and Germany described the talks as “urgent,” warned that “we are nearing the point where Iran’s escalation of its nuclear program will have completely hollowed out” the deal.
