Indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington resume in Vienna

Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington resumed in Vienna with a meeting between Iran's chief nuclear negotiator and the EU representative on Thursday. According to media reports, EU's Enrique Mora coordinated the talks. Iran’s state media announced that 'Bagheri Kani' had met and conferred with Mora as part of long-running negotiations on the removal of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

National Security Spokesperson John Kirby said, the negotiations are pretty much complete at this point. Both Tehran and Washington have played down the prospect of a breakthrough in this round of talks.

Last month, the talks moved to the Qatari capital of Doha in a different format, with Tehran and Washington holding indirect talks mediated by the European Union.
