IRAN: U.S. Yet To Respond To European Proposals For 2015 Nuclear Deal

Iran said the United States had “not yet responded to the proposals of the European side” in indirect talks aimed at reinstating Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal on Monday (August 22), and said a prisoner swap with Washington was not linked to the negotiations.
After 16 months of fitful, indirect U.S.-Iranian talks, with European Union officials shuttling between the sides, a senior EU official said on Aug. 8 it had laid down a “final” offer and expected a response within a “very, very few weeks.”
Iran last week responded to the EU’s text with “additional views and considerations”, while calling on Washington to show flexibility to resolve three remaining issues. The United States last week said it was studying Iran’s response.
