Iran’s nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi says a majority of the draft nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers has been agreed on but differences remain over one part, according to the Iranian Fars News Agency.
“We have now a text that a major part of it, even all its phrases, has been agreed but a part of it is still a source of difference,” Araqchi is quoted by Fars as saying in an interview with state-run TV upon landing in Vienna.
“In certain paragraphs, there is difference on one phrase and in certain other paragraphs, one sentence and in certain parts, the whole phrase has not been agreed; yet now a major part has ended,” he adds.
Asked about the next round of talks, he says representatives of Iran and the US will have a bilateral meeting on Thursday and then deputy foreign ministers of other P5+1 members would join on Friday.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
