EU submits a ‘final text’ at Iran nuclear talks
- Talks resumed in Vienna last week, months after they had stalled, and Tehran says it is reviewing the proposals in the 25-page document
- A key sticking point appears to be a probe by the International Atomic Energy Agency on traces of nuclear material found at undeclared Iranian sites
The European Union submitted a “final text” at talks to salvage a 2015 deal aimed at reining in Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Tehran said on Monday it was reviewing the proposals.
Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia, as well as the United States indirectly, resumed talks on Thursday in Vienna, months after they had stalled.
The European Union has submitted a “final text”, a European official said on Monday. “We worked for four days and today the text is on the table,” the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
“The negotiation is finished, it’s the final text … and it will not be renegotiated.”
“Now the ball is in the court of the capitals and we will see what happens,” the European official added. “No one is staying in Vienna.”
