Bagheri Kani said the effective removal of US sanctions on Iran is key to arriving at an agreement in the Vienna talks.
The more seriousness the other sides demonstrate for removing the sanctions and accepting the mechanisms proposed by Iran for the lifting of the restrictions, particularly regarding the verification and guarantee issues, the sooner it will be possible to reach an agreement, he noted.
Iran and the five other remaining signatories to the JCPOA, namely China, Russia, the UK, France and Germany, have held rounds of talks in Vienna in a bid to revive the deal, which Washington quit in 2018 under former President Donald Trump.
