Iran Nuclear Deal Issues Mostly Resolved, Says US

Most of the pressing details to bring Iran and the United States to the nuclear table have been agreed upon.

This is according to a statement by the U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price, Daily Sabah reports on Wednesday.

Price said; "The big issues have been largely settled.

"That includes sanctions relief the U.S. provided to Iran under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the curbs Iran is to accept on its nuclear program.

"What could be negotiated has been negotiated."

Indirect talks between Iran and the U.S., mediated by the European Union, concluded in Vienna earlier this month with a draft of the agreement being reached.

Iran has submitted its response to the EU's draft text aimed at salvaging the accord, which the bloc is currently examining.

Price added that the U.S. has received the Iranian response to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell's draft text and remains in consultation with the EU and European nations on the way ahead.
