Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian told EU High Representative Josep Borrell that “if all sides behave realistically, we are still close to reaching a good and robust deal”, adding: “The making of new demands by the U.S. has no logical justification and this is at odds with the country’s stance on swiftly reaching an agreement… the main issues and sanctions removal must not be affected by the excessive demands on the part of the U.S.”
