Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's Permanent Representative to the international organizations in Vienna, and Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Mohsen Naziri Asl discussed the final stage of the negotiations to restore the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program. Ulyanov tweeted about this on Monday.
"Today we had a meeting with the new Permanent Representative of Iran to the UN and other international organizations in Vienna, H.E. Mr. Mohsen Naziri Asl. We discussed a number of topical issues related to the final stage of the Vienna talks on the JCPOA," the permanent representative wrote.
He noted that a week ago Iran presented its "'final and, in our view, quite reasonable drafting proposals" to the draft agreement on the restoration of the JCPOA to the other negotiators in Vienna." "Let's hope that it will not take long for Washington to consider these proposals," Ulyanov added.
The JCPOA was signed with Iran in 2015 to address the crisis over its nuclear developments by the permanent UN Security Council Five and Germany. In 2018, then-US President Donald Trump decided to withdraw from the arrangement. Current US leader Joe Biden has repeatedly signaled his willingness to bring Washington back into the nuclear deal with Tehran. Britain, Germany, China, Russia, the US and France have been negotiating with Iran in Vienna since April 2021 to restore the JCPOA to its original form.
