News - Middle East - Iran: Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Iran is firmly determined to reach a “good, lasting and reliable” agreement with the five remaining parties to the 2015 deal, as the eighth round of talks are ongoing in the Austrian capital of Vienna to revive the landmark US-abandoned accord.

Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks at a Wednesday session of the Iranian Parliament’s Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, during which he briefed the lawmakers on the latest developments in the talks between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries in Vienna aimed at reviving the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), by bringing the US into compliance.

The top Iranian diplomat said no direct talks have so far been held between the negotiating teams of Iran and the US in Vienna, and the two sides’ technical views are exchanged within the format of unofficial written notes and through mediation by the European Union coordinator.
