Iran sent the European Union its official response to the bloc’s proposal for reviving the 2015 nuclear accord after signaling it may be nearer a deal with the U.S. that could restore Iranian oil exports to global markets.
The semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency, citing an “informed source,” said Tehran’s position on the latest draft text had been sent to the E.U.’s top envoy, Josep Borrell. The Islamic Republic expects a reply in the next two days, ISNA said, without giving any more details.
Earlier Monday, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said an agreement can be reached with Washington to restore the beleaguered accord in the next few days “if the U.S. shows a realistic approach and flexibility.”
