EU High Representative Josep Borrell remarked that “the last interaction [between Iran and the U.S. over the JCPOA] is not converging, it is diverging… That is very much worrisome - if the process does not converge, the whole process is in danger”. “[I] keep consulting with all the other JCPOA participants, and in particular the U.S. because it is a request [by Iran] that has to be fulfilled by the U.S. - in particular, not the only one, how to proceed”, he added, while assessing: “I am less confident today… about the convergence of the negotiation process and about the prospect of closing the deal right now”.
