The European Union was awaiting the United States’ response to Iranian comments on an EU text on reviving the Iranian nuclear deal, officials said Thursday.
“Any moment, but it could be tomorrow of course,” an EU official said Thursday evening.
The State Department said it was continuing to review Iran’s comments, which were sent to the European Union late Monday.
“Our review of Iran’s comments on the EU’s proposal continues,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told journalists at the Department briefing Thursday. “We have continued to convey our feedback directly and privately to the EU, as has been requested.”
The EU said Tuesday it was “studying” Iran’s reply to a proposed draft agreement aimed at reviving a 2015 accord between Iran and world powers.
A spokesperson for EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said the Iranian response was received late Monday.
“We are studying it and are consulting with the other JCPOA participants and the US on the way ahead,” the spokesperson said, referring to the formal title of the nuclear pact.
There was no further information on the details of Iran’s answer to the proposal.
Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia, as well as the United States indirectly, resumed talks on the nuclear accord last week.
