- There was no immediate reaction from Iran
DUBAI: The European Union鈥檚 foreign policy chief said Friday that 鈥渁 pause鈥� was needed in ongoing talks over Iran鈥檚 tattered nuclear deal with world powers, blaming 鈥渆xternal factors鈥� for the delay.
The comments by Josep Borrell come as a roadmap appeared imminent for the US to rejoin an accord it unilaterally withdrew from in 2018 and for Iran to again limit its rapidly advancing nuclear program.
鈥淎 final text is essentially ready and on the table,鈥� Borrell wrote on Twitter. 鈥淎s coordinator, I will, with my team, continue to be in touch with all #JCPOA participants and the US to overcome the current situation and to close the agreement.鈥�
The JCPOA, of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is the 2015 nuclear deal鈥檚 formal name.
There was no immediate reaction from Iran.
