The United States said that Iran’s latest response in negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal was “not constructive”.
The response came after Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said Tehran submitted a text containing “a constructive approach aimed at finalising the negotiations”.
Details of Iran’s latest response have remained unknown, but the US State Department said it received the text via the EU.
“We are studying it and will respond through the EU, but unfortunately it is not constructive,” a State Department spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said: “Some gaps have closed in recent weeks – but others remain.”
Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia, as well as the United States indirectly, resumed talks on the nuclear accord last month.
