Russian envoy says Iran nuclear talks are now on 'Right Track'
Russia's envoy in Vienna told that after a rough start last week, Iran's nuclear talks are progressing more constructively.
Mikhail Ulyanov described the atmosphere of this week's talks as much more constructive compared to last week when he said time was wasted. "No demarches… Just normal business-like dialogue," Ulyanov said after a meeting of delegations in an apparent reference to the Iranian negotiators' approach last week.
"We are on the right track, we don't waste time, we maintain dialogue, we arrange meetings at expert level, at higher level, like this one," he said, adding that he was "fully satisfied".
He also noted that as far as he knows US President Joe Biden is "fully committed to successful conclusion of these talks" and that Biden and Vladimir Putin both want the 2015 nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to be restored.
"The European Union's External Service was "doing a great job" as a mediator between Tehran and Washington."
Ulyanov stressed that talks are based on the text prepared in June after the six rounds of talks before the Iranian elections.
