US State Department spokesman Ned Price says Washington is “encouraged” that Iran has dropped some “non-starter” demands in its response to the Western proposal in nuclear negotiations, among them delisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guards as a terror group.

However, he says that “there are still some outstanding issues that must be resolved. Some gaps that must be bridged.”

Price says the administration is working on a response to the Iranian document. He says consultations are still being held.
