Iran says it has new ideas on nuclear deal after EU proposes text – By Maziar Motamedi (Al Jazeera) / July 26, 2022
It appears an impasse over the 2015 nuclear deal is continuing 15 months after negotiations began to restore it.
Tehran, Iran – Iran has said it has new ideas to restore its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers after the European Union’s coordinator proposed what seems to be a final text to reach an agreement.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Tuesday that he had proposed a text to restore the landmark accord, which the United States unilaterally abandoned in 2018.
“This text represents the best possible deal that I, as facilitator of the negotiations, see as feasible. It is not a perfect agreement, but it addresses all essential elements and includes hard-won compromises by all sides,” he wrote in an article for the Financial Times.
“Decisions need to be taken now,” he warned, adding that he sees “no other comprehensive or effective alternative within reach”.
