Iran Press/ Iran news: Attending his weekly press conference on Monday, Nasser Kanaani said about the Vienna talks that messages were exchanged in recent days and Josep Borrell proposed a text based on the past negotiations and the parties received it and Iran also received these proposals.
He noted that the Iranian side has carefully examined the text and suggestions and presented its point of view.
"We witnessed the movement of other parties as well," he added.
"After the exchange of messages that took place in recent weeks and the reviews of the proposed texts, there is a possibility that in the near future we will be able to reach a conclusion regarding the timing of the negotiations and possibly witness a new round of talks. I must emphasize that this completely depends on the will of the other side, especially the American side, to show its readiness to reach a reasonable and sustainable agreement and refrain from raising irrelevant issues," the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

He pointed out that Iran considers reaching an agreement as a serious strategy and does not look at tactical negotiations.
The Spokesman of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also speaking about the recent developments in Iraq said that to Iran's belief, the current disputes in Iraq would be settled through the formation of a people-oriented government.
Supporters of the leader of the Iraqi Sadrist movement, Moqtada Al-Sadr, protest in the Green Zone in Baghdad on Wednesday.
Nasser Kanaani noted that the Islamic Republic always stressed the stability and security of its neighbor Iraq and believed that the security of Iraq was the security of Iran and the region.
"Iran always respects the Iraqi people's choice and emphasizes that dialogue is the best way to solve the internal problems of this country," Kanaani said.
The Iraqi Sadrists stormed the country's parliament after penetrating the capital's high-security government Green Zone, protesting against a rival bloc's nomination for prime minister.
Sadr's bloc won 73 seats in Iraq's October 2021 election, making it the largest faction in the 329-seat parliament.
But since the vote, talks to form a new government has stalled.
The protesters oppose the candidacy of Mohammed al-Sudani, a former minister and ex-provincial governor.

Regarding the Iranian energy minister's visit to Afghanistan on Iran's Hirmand water rights, Nasser Kanaani said: "We are following the issue in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Foreign Minister spoke to the interim Foreign Minister of Afghanistan and emphasized this issue."
"The realization of this depends on the honest cooperation of our parties in the friendly country of Afghanistan, and we consider this as a sign of good faith that our friends are willing to form cooperation with constructive interaction with Iran. We continue our efforts seriously. We still do not see the fulfillment of Iran's expectations from the brothers in Afghanistan. The amount of water deposited is small and we hope that the brothers in Afghanistan will fulfill their obligations," he said.
