Russia says cautiously optimistic over real progress in Vienna talks

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he is cautiously optimistic about progress made in ongoing negotiations in the Austrian capital of Vienna between Iran and the five remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at securing the removal of all US sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking in an annual press conference on Friday, Lavrov said he was optimistic about the direction of talks over the revival of the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was abandoned by the US three years after its conclusion.

"There's real progress. There's real desire primarily between Iran and the United States to understand specific concerns and how these concerns can be considered in the general package" of documents, the top Russian diplomat said. He added that the two sides are making "good progress at the moment" and would "come to an agreement."
