Iran believes that it is possible on the sidelines of the General Assembly in New York to hold a meeting that will advance the nuclear agreement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran announced.
The announcement said that Ali Bagri Kani, the head of the Iranian delegation to the Vienna talks, would be at the rally. There is no clear plan for discussions on the nuclear agreement, said the Foreign Ministry spokesman, but it is possible that such talks will take place. He ruled out the possibility of discussions with American government representatives.
France’s Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said in New York that no better offer will be submitted to Iran to renew the nuclear agreement and now Tehran must make decisions because the windows of the agreement are closing.
Western diplomats in New York told Reuters that there are currently no active negotiations on the nuclear deal, and a breakthrough is unlikely before the US midterm elections in November. They accused Tehran of “walking backwards” in the talks.
