Sources close to the Vienna talks on lifting the sanctions told a Western media outlet that the talks were taking place in a "constructive atmosphere".
The German news agency Deutsche Welle quoted informed sources as saying that Iran was insisting on receiving guarantees that the agreement would remain in place in the future. All sides recognize this position, but say it is difficult to implement.
According to the German news agency, in general, the talks do not have the necessary momentum to reach a conclusion in the next few weeks. A new round of talks has been suspended until next Monday.
The United States withdrew from the JCPOA, which was approved by the Security Council, in violation of all its commitments during the presidency of Donald Trump.
The Islamic Republic of Iran adhered to all its obligations under the agreement until one year after the withdrawal of the United States, but then exercised its powers in the agreement and reduced some of its obligations.
Ali Bagheri, the senior negotiator in the Islamic Republic of Iran, said the lifting of all US sanctions was the key to success in the Vienna talks. He said that the more serious the other side is in this regard, the less negotiations will be concluded in less time.
