Iran Press/Iran news: The eighth round of talks, which began in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Dec. 27, is one of the most protracted rounds of talks with participants busy working on a draft text of an agreement and deciding on some remaining disputed issues.

Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed optimism that a good agreement would be reached in the Vienna talks.

Speaking in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran under the administration of President Raisi has a strong will to reach a good agreement in Vienna talks.

"Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told that Tehran is "very optimistic" of reaching a nuclear agreement in ongoing negotiations in Vienna", Amanpour wrote in her Twitter account.

"However, if the talks fail, it's the Americans and the other side that are responsible for it," he says, she added.

Earlier on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson tweeted, "We have already made our serious decisions & have demonstrated our seriousness all along. To reach the final agreement, it is now up to the E3 and the US to do the same, urgently."
