The nuclear talks in Vienna end an hour after they resumed.
“The meeting of the Joint Commission is over. It was rather short and constructive,” tweets Russia’s representative, Mikhail Ulyanov.
“The participants observed a number of important commonalities in there positions, including with regard to the need to finalize the #ViennaTalks on restoration of #JCPOA successfully and swiftly,” says Ulyanov.
The talks resumed amid high tensions after Tehran made demands last week that European countries strongly criticized.

European diplomats urged Tehran to come back with “realistic proposals” after the Iranian delegation made numerous demands last week that other parties to the accord deemed unacceptable. US and European representatives at the nuclear talks have voiced pessimism and frustration over Iran’s demands.
