TEHRAN, March 24 (YPA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdullahian said an agreement to revive the 2015 nuclear accord that Tehran signed with world powers is closer “than ever before.”

“If the US acts pragmatically, we are ready to have foreign ministers of countries belonging to the nuclear deal’s joint commission gather in Vienna to finalize the agreement,” Hossein Amirabdollahian told a news conference during a visit to Damascus on March 23.

“We believe that today we are closer to an agreement in Vienna than ever before,” he said.

“We have given our latest proposals to the US through the European Union’s Coordinator to reach a final deal. We reminded the Americans that we will not cross our red lines,” Amirabdollahian added.

He also welcomed the move of some Arab countries to normalize relations with Syria.
