Iran has sent a new proposal to the European Union (EU) as it continues efforts to “revive” the 2015 deal on Iran’s nuclear program and end years of disputes, The Times of Israel and Agerpres reported on Friday.

“We have carefully analyzed the US response to the EU’s compromise proposal and conveyed to the EU our position on this issue,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said.

He did not give any other details, according to numerous mass media that reported his statements. Nasser Kanaani limited himself to evaluating the proposal as “constructive” and said that its goal is to reach a final agreement.

The agreement on the Iranian nuclear program links control over this program to the easing of sanctions against Iran. The initial agreement was signed in 2015, but was compromised a few years later by US President Donald Trump, who pulled the US out of the agreement three years later.

High hopes for a return to the nuclear deal with Iran

The EU negotiators explained that the new version of the agreement has already been drawn up and it expects “yes” or “no” from all parties: Iran, the EU, Germany and the five UN Security Council states with the right of veto.

These are the USA, France, Great Britain, Russia and China.

The US and Iran have already responded to the compromise proposal of the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Wednesday he hopes for a nuclear deal with Iran “in the coming days” amid talks between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, a staunch opponent of the deal.

Bloomberg revealed last month that Iran is already preparing to lift sanctions that will follow its exit from the deal, increasing oil production to take Russia’s place in the European market.
