Vienna Talks To Resume Thursday 9 Dec

IRAN

Abas Aslani at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies tweets: "Iran and P4+1 will reconvene on Thursday in Vienna to continue Iran Talks. Iran Dep FM Ali Bagheri Kani and Joint Commission coordinator Enrique Mora had a phone conversation on Monday confirming the date."

  • Talks that concluded last week resulted in no progress, with Western nations and the US accusing Tehran of risking a major breakdown in talks by proposing changes to existing plans that would see Iran offer fewer concessions in exchange for greater relaxation of sanctions.
  • A US State Dep't Official stated on 4 Dec that “with proposals that walked back… the compromises Iran had floated during the six rounds of [prior] talks, pocketed all of the compromises that others and the US, in particular, had made, and then asked for more. In other words, [Iran had] not come back with a serious proposal about how we could resume mutual compliance with the JCPOA, but raised issues that go beyond the JCPOA.”
