WSJ: Senior EU Diplo Expects JCPoA Agreement 'In Coming Week/Two Weeks'

IRAN

Laurence Norman at WSJ tweets commment from unnamed EU diplo on the state of JCPoA talks:

  • "Senior EU diplomat: Iran Talks "I expect an agreement very soon. Ideally yes, I expect an agreement in the coming week or coming two weeks or so....Most of the issues are already agreed. But as a principle in this kind of negotiations, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. So we still have...some questions, some of them rather political and difficult to agree....Over the last 2 weeks, delegations have shown a lot of political will. It's clear that they want a compromise. It's clear that all delegations around the table -and that which is not around the table but it's around the corner, the United States - it also wants an agreement...I think we have now on the table text that are very very close to what is going to be the final agreement. But I don't, I really don't know whether that will happen in the coming days or that will take a bit more. But in any case, not much more....On the ground they are advancing very much at a speed that is not compatible with the long term survival of the JCPOA," says senior EU diplo of Iran nuclear work."
