The United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have said that they were studying the response of Iran to the draft agreement that EU had presented in Vienna to revive the nuclear accord of 2015.
US has said that it was informing the EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell of its response. The possible deal of lifting ban on Iran’s oil has already brought the prices in the international market down.
According to Borrell spokesperson, EU was in consultation with the US and other parties after receiving Iranian response. US State Department spokesperson has said that they were studying the comments of Iran and were also sharing views with the EU.
“An agreement will be concluded if the US reacts with realism and flexibility,” Iran’s official news agency IRNA has reported. It also said quoting an Iranian diplomat that the proposals of EU were acceptable if assurances on various points including sanctions and safeguards were provided.
According to the statement of a senior EU official earlier this month, Iran’s demand for an end to US blacklisting of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a “terrorist organization has been dropped from the discussions and will instead be handled after the deal”.
The EU official has also said that Tehran and Washington still have to agree on issues related to lifting of sanctions. He also told that Iran wants the IAEA to end its investigation into traces of enriched uranium found at sites.
Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia, as well as the US indirectly resumed talks on the nuclear accord earlier in August.
US State Department spokesman Ned Price has said that it was up to Iran to make a final deal.
