Negotiators Return Home From Vienna
VIENNA (Dispatches) — Talks in Vienna to remove sanctions on Iran ended Monday as the parties closed a final text and the Iranian negotiator prepared to return to his capital, diplomats said. Russian Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov, who has represented Moscow’s interests in the talks, said the European Union had circulated “the final text” of the agreement to revive the landmark nuclear deal, which granted Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. The parties “now need to decide if the draft is acceptable for them,” Ulyanov wrote on Twitter. “In case of no objection the nuclear deal will be restored.” Iran’s chief negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, would shortly fly back to Tehran for consultations, IRNA news agency said.
