"I have to tell you, recent moves, recent rhetoric, don`t give us a lot of cause for ... optimism," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Stockholm, saying he could judge in a day or so if Iran would engage in good faith.
Vienna/Stockholm: The United States and Iran both sounded pessimistic on Thursday (December 2) about the chances of reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, with Washington saying it had little cause for optimism and Tehran questioning the determination of US and European negotiators.
"I have to tell you, recent moves, recent rhetoric, don`t give us a lot of cause for ... optimism," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Stockholm, saying he could judge in a day or so if Iran would engage in good faith.
Blinken made the comments after Iran provided the European powers who are shuttling between U.S. and Iranian officials in Vienna with drafts on sanctions removal and nuclear commitments, as world powers and Tehran seek to reinstate the tattered pact.
