With the resumption of the nuclear negotiations in Vienna, Iranian officials and media have been signaling that the talks are headed in a positive direction and remaining issues can be solved by February.
An article headlined “Positive signs from all sides” in the economic newspaper Donya-e Eqtesad captured many of the optimistic readings coming out of Vienna by the negotiators. Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said Dec. 28 to reporters that negotiators are engaged in addressing points in which there are differences. He added that “reaching an agreement soon and in the near future is imaginable.”
