Tuesday, 11 May 2021 _A lot of work is needed and time is limited. That's what Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, has told a ministerial meeting in Brussels with respect to ongoing talks in Vienna to try and save the Iran nuclear deal.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Monday urged "non-stop" talks in Vienna to try for a breakthrough on bringing the United States back into the nuclear deal with Iran.
"These remain an extremely delicate and intense diplomatic process. I dare to say that I am optimistic," Borrell, who serves as coordinator for the 2015 nuclear agreement, said after a meeting of EU foreign ministers.
"There is a window of opportunity that will stay open for a couple of weeks until the end of the month, but a lot of work needs to be done, time is limited."
He added that he hoped "that the negotiations will enter in a phase of non-stop in Vienna".
