'The United States' current administration should have the
audacity to rectify the White House's past mistakes,' the Iranian
foreign minister said in his phone talk with Borrel.
“There are no doubts about the Iranian government's will to
reach a good, strong, and sustainable agreement in Vienna,” Amir
Abdollahian added.
He reiterated that the White House should abandon its excessive
demands and its indecision and walk down the path of realism and
resolution of the standing differences.
The top Iranian diplomat, meanwhile, expressed gratitude towards
Borrell and his deputy Enrique Mora over their efforts to
coordinate the talks.
Borrell, for his part, appreciated the Islamic Republic's will
for conclusion of an agreement and the various initiatives that the
Islamic Republic has come up with to facilitate the prospect.
He, however, expressed disappointment concerning a
mid-March-present pause that has been announced in the
negotiations, urging fresh talks between the EU's representative
and Iran's top negotiator Ali Baqeri Kani.
In 2018, the incumbent US President Joe Biden's predecessor
Donald Trump took Washington out of a 2015 deal between the Islamic
Republic and others. Trump also reimposed the illegal sanctions
that the accord had lifted.
The Austrian capital of Vienna has, since last year, been
holding many rounds of talks between Tehran and the remaining
participants in the agreement, officially known as the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aimed at exploring the
potential of the deal's revival and fresh removal of the
sanctions.
