A European diplomatic source said earlier today that “Iran has announced that it is ready to work according to the texts obtained in the previous round in June. It will be put to the test in the coming days.”
However, sources in the talks continued to claim yesterday that not much has changed. “There is no progress, despite the many working hours,” they testified, blaming Iran for its unwillingness to renew control of its nuclear sites and especially the Karaj site, where the cameras were removed. “If Iran does not guarantee access to IAEA inspectors it will be interpreted as a lack of interest in serious negotiations,” they clarified.
Indeed, Europe is pessimistic about the chances of reaching an agreement. German Foreign Minister Analina Barbuk told a news briefing: “There is no progress on the horizon. We went back six months, everything was removed from the table and time is running out. We are working hard for a diplomatic solution to save the nuclear deal.”

President of Iran Ibrahim Raisi Emphasized that Iran is “serious” in the nuclear talks, the official news agency IRNA reported. “We are serious about negotiations, and if the other side is also serious about removing the sanctions, we will reach a good agreement.
