U.S. officials returned to Vienna last week for a fourth round
of indirect talks with Iran on how to resume compliance with the
deal, which former U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned in
2018, prompting Iran to begin violating its terms about a year
later.
"The negotiations are tough and laborious but all participants
are conducting the talks in a constructive atmosphere," Maas
said on the margins of a meeting with his European Union
counterparts in Brussels.
"However, time is running out. We aim for the full restoration
of the Iran nuclear deal as this is the only way to guarantee
that Iran will not be able to come into possession of nuclear
weapons," he added.
