EU Rep: 'More Hard Work Needed' In Iran Nuclear Talks

Enrique Mora, Deputy Secretary General of the EU's External Action Service, tweets following conclusion of latest Vienna talks: "Joint Commission today. Progress made over the last two weeks. But much more hard work needed. Third expert group was created to address sequencing issues. I continue to think that diplomacy is only way forward for the #JCPOA to address ongoing challenges"

• Russia's perm representative to international organisations Mikhail Ulyanov tweeted "Today the Joint Commission of #JCPOA took note with satisfaction of the progress made in negotiations to restore the nuclear deal. It was decided to take a break to allow the delegations to do homework and consult with the capitals. The Commission will meet again early next week."
• Comments from Iran's senior representative Abbas Aragchi more mixed, stating that the 'current trend of talks is forward despite existing difficulties and challenges'. However, adds that 'unreasonable demands' or 'time wasting' will result in the talks being cancelled.
• Other Iran nuclear deal signatories trying to get to the stage where Iran and US can hold talks round the same table with the hope of the US re-joining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
