The opportunity to revive the talks and save the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is still there from Iran's point of view, that country's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani stated on Monday.
"But unfortunately, the United States' attitude is contradictory and paradoxical. Their stances are negative, while their behavior and messages, sent via intermediaries, are something else," he told reporters at a press conference.
Commenting on the proposal the European Union sent to Iran in an effort to renew the negotiations, Kanaani said the final agreement is close to its conclusion. He then went on to accuse the US of stalling the talks "once for the sake of the midterm election and once more under other pretexts such as the domestic developments in Iran and other issues like Ukraine."
