The EU's top diplomat announced a pause to the ongoing 8th round of the Vienna sanctions removal talks was needed due to "external factors."

Iran PressEurope: Iran's international nuclear agreement or the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between the country and P5+1 countries (Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and the US) in 2015, but the US scrapped it on May 18, 2018, re-imposing more sanctions on Iran.

The eighth round of sanctions removal talks, which began in Vienna on December 27, now faces a halt.

In a tweet on Friday, European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote: "As coordinator, I will, with my team, continue to be in touch with all JCPOA participants and the US to overcome the current situation and to close the agreement."

"A final text is essentially ready and on the table," he added.

Iran has not limited its interactions just to the Western parties while following up interaction with other countries of the world. 

It pursues to preserve both its interest and its nuclear infrastructure.
