Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said reaching a good deal in the ongoing talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement is possible if the West demonstrates good will.

In a tweet, the top Iranian diplomat said the talks in the Austrian capital were proceeding with seriousness.

#ViennaTalks proceeding with seriousness and sanctions removal as fundamental priority.
Expert talks are continuing too.

In daily contact with top negotiator @Bagheri_Kani.

Good deal within reach if the West shows good will. We seek rational, sober & result-oriented dialogue.

A seventh round of the talks to revive the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), started in the Austrian capital on Monday.

The JCPOA was signed in 2015 between Iran and the Group 5+1 and endorsed by the UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

However, then-US president Donald Trump unilaterally pulled Washington out of the nuclear deal in May 2018 and reinstated the anti-Iranian sanctions that had been lifted by the deal.

As the remaining European parties have failed to fulfill their commitments to the accord and compensate for Washington’s absence, Iran moved in May 2019 to scale back its JCPOA commitments.
