Top EU diplomat says offer may be 'last bullet' to pull off Iran nuclear deal
Tehran has dismissed expectations of a breakthrough as a top EU diplomat makes a last-ditch effort in Tehran.
The European Union dispatched to Tehran its coordinator on the talks on reviving the Iran nuclear deal in an effort to bring the sides back to the negotiating table.
Following a two-month pause, senior EU diplomat Enrique Mora came to meet with Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani on May 10 and pick up from where the sides left off in Vienna.
Mora's boss, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, has declared that the push is "the last bullet" for breaking the impasse that saw diplomats from Iran, the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia and China return to their capitals.
Prior to Mora's arrival, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh announced at a Monday briefing in Tehran that the EU diplomat is to serve as a messenger and that "a new development is not supposed to occur."
