"Progress and initiative".

Abdullahiyan made the above -mentioned expression while calling with French Foreign Minister Cologne. He said Iran held a "positive evaluation" of negotiations held in Doha. "Iran has reached a good and lasting agreement to be serious and sincere, and has made positive suggestions and ideas during the negotiation."

In July 2015, Iran reached a comprehensive agreement with the Iranian nuclear issue with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. According to the agreement, Iran promised to restrict its nuclear plan, and the international community lifted sanctions against Iraq. In May 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew the agreement, and then restarted and added a series of sanctions on Iran. Since May 2019, Iran has gradually suspended the performance of some of the agreement, but promised to take measures "reversible".

Relevant parties of the Iranian nuclear agreement began to negotiate in Vienna, the capital of Austria in April 2021 to discuss the recovery of the United States and Iraq, and the United States involved the negotiations indirectly. The eighth round was launched on December 27, 2021 in Vienna. On March 11 this year, Berley, a senior representative of the EU diplomacy and security policy, announced that negotiations were suspended due to "external factors". From June 28th to 29th, under the coordination of the European Union, Iran and the United States held two -day indirect negotiations in Doha, without obvious progress.
