“We are looking into it and will respond through the EU, but unfortunately it is not constructive,” the State Department spokesman said. Iran sent its response to the EU on Thursday after careful consideration, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a statement on Telegram. “The text sent has a constructive approach aimed at completing the negotiations,” the statement said. CNN has reached out to the EU for comment. In early August, EU officials sent the US and Iran what they called the “final text” of a renewed deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Iran and the US have since exchanged responses on sticking points for the full implementation of the nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reiterated this week that an investigation by the United Nations nuclear watchdog into traces of uranium previously found at undeclared research sites in Iran must be closed before Tehran agrees to return to the agreement. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi told CNN last week that his organization would not close the investigation unless it received answers from Iran. Amir-Abdollahian said during a news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday that Iran is also seeking “a stronger text on guarantees,” without specifically naming the assurances Tehran is seeking. US officials had previously expressed some optimism about the latest efforts to revive the nuclear deal, which the US abandoned in 2018 during the Trump administration and which Tehran has increasingly violated since. However, they also stressed that gaps remain between the two sides. It is also expected to face significant domestic opposition from lawmakers in the US Congress and has been condemned by Israel, whose prime minister has said it will “act to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state”. The nuclear deal negotiations also come amid ongoing concerns about threats from Iran and Iran-backed military groups. Biden administration officials have previously argued that Tehran rejected a number of demands contained in earlier drafts of the text aimed at restoring the 2015 deal, including a stipulation that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) be delisted foreign terrorist organization.
