An issue involving the United States and Iran, external to the agreement, has not allowed a return to their respect, the Foreign Ministry specified in a statement by its spokesman.

According to the official source, the project was ready, and that is why the E3 negotiators (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) left Vienna, with the conviction that the pact can be completed very soon.

In 2015, the international community celebrated the signing of an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Russia) plus Germany.

However, the coming to power of Donald Trump in 2017 represented the end of the initiative, with Washington’s return to unilateral sanctions and aggressiveness against the Persian nation, which in response resumed uranium enrichment at levels prohibited by the pact.

France urged the parties to take the necessary steps to conclude the agreement as soon as possible.

It would be a serious and dangerous mistake to assume that the project could be on the table indefinitely, he warned.
