The text is ready and will now be presented by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in the capitals of the countries involved, according to a high-ranking EU representative in Vienna on Monday. “You must now say yes or no,” said the diplomat. There is nothing more to negotiate. In his view, it is a “very good compromise for everyone involved”.
After almost two years of negotiations, he expects an answer “in a few weeks, very, very few weeks.” In a diplomatic tour de force, representatives from the United States, Iran and other countries had been trying to come to an agreement in Vienna for a few days to lift US sanctions and restrict Tehran’s nuclear program again. Those were the original goals of a 2015 pact designed to prevent Tehran from building nuclear weapons. The United States left the agreement in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump. Germany was also involved in the negotiations in Vienna.
