Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS) Enrique Mora arrives at the Coburg Palace, venue of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) meeting that aims at reviving the Iran nuclear deal, in Vienna on Feb. 8, 2022.

After a brief trip back to Tehran for consultations, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani has returned to Vienna this morning to resume talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. He met this morning with Enrique Mora, deputy secretary general of the European External Action Service. 

According to an IRNA report on Bagheri Kani’s trip to Tehran, consultations and top-level talks are still taking place in Vienna. Yet, according to Mora, “There are no longer expert-level talks. No formal meetings. It is time, in the next few days, for political decisions to end the Vienna talks. The rest is noise.”
