Iran Nuclear Talks Could Reach Deal Next Week

Russia’s Envoy to nuclear discussion between major world powers and Iran said on Friday that “we will have a deal maybe in the middle of next week”.

European negotiators probably returned to capitals because they believe they have done their job, the envoy added.

So, Iran’s deal has become a matter of a few days, with negotiators from Europe and Iran making clear that they’ve reached the final hurdles.

Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, will travel to Tehran on Saturday to try to resolve one of the remaining disputes.

Iran’s insistence that an investigation into its undeclared nuclear activity be dropped. The success of failure of Grossi’s visit could determine the fate of the deal.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell in a call on Friday that he is ready to travel to Vienna and sign the deal so long as the US and European powers accept Iran’s red lines, including effective economic guarantees for Iran, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
