Irans top negotiator arrives in Vienna

The talks will resume on February 8, the Deputy EU foreign policy chief Enrique Mora said on Monday.
Iran has repeatedly stated that, given that the US has been a violator of the JCPOA, Washington must return to the agreement with the lifting of sanctions and that the fulfillment of US obligations needs to be verified.

Iranian negotiators, led by Ali Bagheri, have arrived in Vienna with a clear agenda to actually lift sanctions.
The European Union (EU) said in a statement on Monday that the participants in the Vienna talks, following consultations in their capitals, would continue to discuss the prospect of a possible US return to the JCPOA and how to ensure full and effective implementation of the agreement by all parties.
A draft of the final document had been drawn up, and Iran Talks May Be ‘5 Minutes From Finish’, says Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna.
"At the current advanced stage of the negotiations - a very advanced stage - it is absolutely unacceptable to create unnecessary tension, to jeopardize the achievement of a positive result. We are five minutes from the finish line. And we need to pass this last segment with dignity, quickly and efficiently enough," Ulyanov told Kommersant.
Mikhail Ulyanov said a few points needed further consideration, but the document was on the table in Vienna.
