Russia Sees Iran Deal Within a Week as Talks Slip Into March

Russia’s top diplomat at the Iran nuclear talks said there was a “very high probability” that Tehran and Washington will end their impasse over how to restore the 2015 atomic accord before the end of next week.

An agreement to revive the deal, which the U.S. abandoned in 2018, would “almost for sure” be settled “next week or before the end of the next week,” Mikhail Ulyanov said on the sidelines of the talks in Vienna on Sunday, warning that last-minute “surprise or negative developments” could still scuttle the negotiations.
