Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Khatibzad said on January 17, 2022 that the parties involved in the negotiations on the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue have reached consensus on many aspects, and the consensus that has been formed is currently being translated into written text. However, key issues such as the lifting of sanctions against Iran have not yet been resolved, and a political decision by the United States is especially needed, which will push forward the negotiations to "reach a credible and lasting agreement" as soon as possible.

In response to the remarks made by US Secretary of State Blinken recently on the resumption of negotiations between the United States and Iran on the implementation of the treaty, Khatibzad said that he suggested that the United States take the initiative and focus on practical solutions.Editor/Ma Xue
