IRNA � The joint commission meeting on Iran nuclear deal � known as the JCPOA � came to an end on Friday after three hours of discussions at Vienna's Cobourg Hotel.


Abbas Araqchi, the head of the Iranian delegation left the venue of the talks at 14:00 o'clock local time.

Araqchi declined to answer to reporters when he was leaving the hotel but a member of the Iranian delegation who insisted on anonymity said that Araqchi will return to Cobourg Hotel within the next few hours for probable bilateral talks with other sides including the American side.

The meeting, which was the eighth JCPOA joint commission meeting since the deal came into force in January 2016, kicked off in the Austrian capital at 11:00 o'clock local time.

The meeting was aimed to focus on removal of sanctions and addressing US breach of the deal.
