 The participants in the talks with Iran in Vienna reached a common understanding on the text on the issues of Iran's nuclear program. This was announced on Friday by a senior official of the State Department at a special briefing, quoted by TACC.

"The second component of the modest progress is the fact that, thanks to EU diplomacy, we now, in particular, have a common understanding of what the text will be that can serve as a basis for negotiations on nuclear issues," he said. Welcome. "

"I want to be clear: when we talked about nuclear issues, we were actually talking about the agenda of discussions on nuclear issues," the State Department spokesman added. He said he was emphasizing this so that society could understand the "essence of progress".

 The seventh round of talks on Iran's Iranian nuclear deal was "better than it could be, but worse than it should have been." Such an assessment was given by the representative of the State Department.

"If I had to take stock of the second part of the seventh round, which has just ended, then I would say it was better than it could have been, but worse than it should have been, which leaves us in a state of uncertainty about whether we will be able to achieve what we need in the short time we have left, "said the official.

 "It was better than it could have been because there was some modest progress," a State Department spokesman said. In particular, he noted that "thanks to the efforts of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, as well as with the help of others, including Russia, an agreement was reached that will allow the IAEA to install new cameras ( at the centrifuge assembly facility) in Kerage. ' "This is an important step," he said.

 At the same time, he noted that "every day is just further evidence of how counterproductive the US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's Nuclear Program (CFSP) was." "This left us with Iran's nuclear program, which turned out to be unlimited, we received less clarity and opportunities for observation," said a spokesman for the US State Department.

 A State Department spokesman explained that the Iranian side had asked for the talks to be suspended. "Iran has decided that it needs to take a break, the new coordinator will decide when to call everyone back to Vienna. We are ready to return [to Vienna], but it was not our choice to leave [the Austrian capital]."
