The text of the document on the Iranian nuclear deal has been almost completely agreed upon, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna, said in an interview with Izvestia published on Friday.
"The parties seem to have reached a final point: either a failure or a success. No long-term negotiations are likely to take place in the foreseeable future," he said. According to Ulyanov, the Iranian side had separate questions about just a few points of the agreement.
"This is the version where everyone is basically satisfied, and yet everyone has some dissatisfaction about certain provisions of the draft. But this means that the package is good and balanced, and this is how multilateral negotiations should be," Ulyanov said.
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, Trump decided to withdraw from the arrangement. Current US President Joe Biden has repeatedly signaled his willingness to bring Washington back into the nuclear deal with Tehran. Russia, Britain, Germany, China, the US and France have been negotiating with Iran in Vienna since last April to restore the JCPOA to its original form.
