Russia’s representative at the talks in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said that “the fate of the nuclear agreement will become clear early next week, and its text is almost completely agreed upon.”

Earlier in the day, the Iranian news agency IRNA, citing an Iranian diplomat familiar with the negotiation process, reported that “European proposals can be accepted if they give Iran confidence on various issues, including political statements related to safeguards issues, the withdrawal of all types of prohibitions and ensuring that the agreement is not violated.” “The Islamic Republic of Iran is considering incoming proposals to ensure that its demands are met,” the diplomat explained.

He pointed out, according to the agency, that “Iran should check whether these proposals guarantee Iran’s demands in various areas, including political demands related to guarantees, the lifting of the embargo and ensuring that the agreement is not violated, and whether it can be encouraging into these things.”

Notably, the latest round of nuclear talks concluded last week in Vienna, with Iranian authorities saying they would “discuss political grievances around safeguards, lifting the embargo and ensuring that the agreement is not violated.”
