Iran Press/ Iran news: Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks during a phone conversation with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
In relevant remarks earlier on Saturday, an informed official with the Iranian foreign ministry rejected the rumors claiming that the US has set a deadline for Iran to make a final decision about the talks underway in Vienna.
Noting that such reports are fundamentally wrong, the official called on the people not to pay attention to rumors.
There are rumors in social media that claim the US has set a deadline for Iran to make a final decision within two days or they will regard the Vienna talks as defeated.
The eighth round of talks on lifting sanctions began in Vienna on December 27, 2021, and has resumed after a brief hiatus to consult delegations in their capitals.
The negotiations have progressed due to the initiatives of the Iranian negotiating team. Still, President Joe Biden's reluctance to compensate for the former US administration's illegal actions has cast doubt on Washington's seriousness in returning to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and has prolonged the negotiation process.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a responsible country, has repeatedly stated that, given that the United States has violated the JCPOA agreement, it is Washington that must return to the agreement by lifting sanctions. The implementation of US commitments needs to be verified.
