Reporting about the phone call, Amir-Abdollahian said an agreement was available if the American side acted realistically and consistently.
Amir- Abdollahian went on to emphasize that the outcome of the Vienna talks will be determined by a collective agreement and not a unilateral approach.
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.
