Iran Says It Is Studying New Rough Draft Of Deal To Revive 2015 Nuclear accord

February 26, 2022

Iran's foreign minister said his country is studying a rough draft of a deal to revive the landmark 2015 nuclear deal after the sides hammered out details in Vienna on February 26.

Iran is "seriously reviewing [the] draft of the agreement," Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Twitter.

"Our red lines are made clear to Western parties. Ready to immediately conclude a good deal, should they show real will," Amir-Abdollahian added.

Iran signed the original deal with world powers the United States, Britain, France, German, Russia, and China.

But President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of the deal in 2018, saying the terms weren't sufficient to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and that Tehran was financing terror in the region. Trump also reinstated damaging sanctions against Iran.

Iran denied it is seeking nuclear weapons and rejected the claim that it is supporting terror.

The European Union has been acting has been acting as an intermediary between Iran and U.S. negotiators as the American side is not participating in face-to-face talks with Tehran.
