The US State Department on Monday evening commented on the state of negotiations on the lifting of sanctions on Iran in Vienna and reports on the possible timing of the agreement.
State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that the agreement in Vienna was neither final nor imminent.
According to Reuters, Price stated that Washington is equally ready for scenarios in case of reciprocal return to full implementation of the nuclear agreement or not.
Price warned that Washington was ready to take "difficult decisions" to return Iran's nuclear program to its nuclear-bound limits.
Earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, stated that we are close to the final stage of the agreement in Vienna: "The United States must show its good faith in practice."
