Spox: Iran studying US responses received via EU Coordinator

Tehran, IRNA - Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Wednesday that Iran is studying the US responses received via the EU coordinator. Kanaani said that the US government's response to the Islamic Republic of Iran's comments to resolve the remaining issues in the sanctions removal talks has been received by Tehran through the European Coordinator this afternoon. A detailed review of the views of the US side has begun and the Islamic Republic of Iran will announce its standpoints to the Coordinator after completing the study, he added. At the latest round of the talks, held earlier in August, the European Union presented proposals aimed at salvaging the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), which ran into trouble in 2018 after the US withdrew and reinstated sanctions on Iran. Tehran last Monday offered its response to the proposals that the EU and the US said they had received and were assessing. Iran has repeatedly said that it is serious about reaching a strong, good, and durable revival agreement that respects its red lines. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
