The parties concerned with the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program, especially Brussels and Washington, are studying Iran’s response to a European Union proposal aimed at achieving an understanding in the talks to revive the 2015 agreement.
The European Union, coordinator of negotiations to revive the agreement that the United States withdrew from four years ago, submitted last week a “final” settlement proposal, calling on Tehran and Washington, who are indirectly negotiating, to respond to it.
Both the European Union and the United States confirmed that Tehran’s response had been received, and that the response was subject to evaluation.
A spokeswoman for EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said: “We have received Iran’s response, and we are studying it and consulting with other parties to the JCPOA and the United States on the way forward.”
For his part, a US State Department spokesman said, “We have received Iran’s comments through the European Union, and we are studying them. We share our views with the European Union.”
