European Union External Relations Commissioner Josep Borrell said he is less optimistic regarding a quick agreement to revive the Iran nuclear deal than he was a short time ago.
He added in statements to reporters in Brussels: “I regret to say that I am less confident today than I was 28 hours ago .. regarding the prospects of concluding the agreement now.”
“The initial requests I received were accepted by both sides and were taken into account without making a radical change in the text,” Borrell said, describing his proposal as “very balanced,” but that “recent opinions do not converge, but rather diverge” and “positions do not converge … on the The opposite.”
He said: “It is very worrying if there is no rapprochement during the negotiations, the whole process is in danger.”
