Vienna talks
Iran says it is committed to reaching a good deal in the shortest possible time during the Vienna talks, but won’t be hamstrung by artificial deadlines. A source close to the Iranian negotiating team in Vienna underlined that such deadlines will not change Iran’s red lines. The same source added Iranian negotiators are going to Vienna firm and prepared for the next round of talks, and will stay there as long as needed. The source said now the ball is in the court of the other parties to the talks to show their good faith with regards to sanctions-related issues. Iran and the remaining signatories to the 2015 deal have held several rounds of talks this year with the main focus on the lifting of US sanctions. The eighth round kicks off on December 27, 2021.
