MADRID, 17 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokesman for the United States Department of State, Ned Price, has positively valued this Tuesday the plan of the European Union to resume the nuclear agreement with Iran.
Although the United States has so far refused to comment in detail on the proposal –presented by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell–, Price has affirmed this Tuesday that the great questions to revive the agreement 2015 international nuclear issue have been “largely resolved,” Bloomberg has reported.
“This is the text that the EU has put on the table that is substantially based on the agreement that has been on the table for several months,” said the spokesman, clarifying that said plan is close to what the United States was searching.
This Monday, the Iranian government sent its response to Borrell’s proposal, showing optimism about the options for the agreement to materialize. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hosein Amirabdolahian, had explained that he saw a rapprochement “in the coming days” as feasible “if the United States shows a realistic approach and flexibility.”
Later, the EU confirmed that it was studying Iran’s response, in addition to explaining that it was holding consultations with the US and other participants in the agreement on the next steps to be taken.
Although in Brussels they defend that the proposal is definitive and the parties must accept if they take it or leave it, Tehran has been procrastinating insisting that its ‘red lines’ be respected.
The diplomatic process sponsored by the EU in Vienna seeks to revitalize an agreement that, although it is still in force, is badly damaged after the United States withdrew during the Donald Trump period, and Iran failed to comply with the agreed limits on its nuclear activity.
