Western diplomats sent a strong message to Iran today (Tuesday), in the shadow of the resumption of nuclear talks in Vienna. Diplomats said that “if there is no agreement within four weeks, there will be no agreement at all.” Al-Arabiya newspaper reported that the Iranians have reached the current round of talks very seriously, as they are looking for an agreement that will allow them to sell oil, and remove the sanctions of the Americans.
Meanwhile, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Baghri said that “the eighth round of negotiations in Vienna, began with a meeting of the Joint Nuclear Agreement Committee, in which almost all parties confirmed the priority of removing the illegal sanctions.” He added that “the next issue is the provision of guarantees by the superpowers so that the US does not violate the agreement again, or impose new sanctions on Iran.”
At the same time, Enrique Moreh, the EU’s deputy foreign policy chief and chairman of talks with Iran, said “we do not have much time to reach an agreement, nor can we set a timetable for reaching an agreement.” Our success depends on making tough decisions in Washington and Tehran. “We are trying to reach a practical signature for the restoration of the nuclear agreement, while at the same time the Iranians are seeking to remove the sanctions.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahian referred to the nuclear talks and said Tehran did not see the positions of the three European powers, and especially France, as beneficial. He added that the US delegation is sending informal proposals for talks, and is receiving the necessary response. “We will not agree to be given one point for ten on our part. They are concerned about the progress of the nuclear program. We say they must address all elements of the agreement, and especially the sanctions,” Abdullahian said.
