US repeats it is willing to meet Iran directly on nuclear and other issues dogging their ties after Iran said it would consider it
In a first, Tehran says it is open to holding direct parleys with US to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal, with Washington reiterating its preparedness"to meet directly" with Iranians.
"If during the negotiation process we get to a point that reaching a good agreement with solid guarantees requires a level of talks with the US, we will not ignore that in our work schedule," said Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian on Monday. "Given the pace of Iran's nuclear advances, we are almost out of time to reach an understanding on mutual return to full implementation of the JCPOA," the official added.Tehran has been engaged since last year in talks with the five other world powers still part of the agreement, which offered sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.
Iran is currently negotiating directly with the deal's other signatories: Germany, France, China and Britain. The talks, which started last April, were suspended two months later as Iran elected ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi, resuming in late November. Iran has previously stated that the United States must "change course" and return to the nuclear deal, prior to any direct talks.Earlier on Monday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said it was "possible" to reach an agreement on both the release of Iranian and US prisoners and the nuclear deal.
