The Eurotroika threatens Tehran with the restoration of all restrictions in the event of a failure of the deal.

The day before, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araqchi, said that Tehran is currently open to negotiations with Washington, but only in an indirect format.

Earlier, on July 16, US President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that Iran "desperately" wants to resume negotiations with the United States. At the same time, he noted that the United States is not in a hurry to resume negotiations, but if the Iranian side wants to hold the next round of settlement, Washington will not refuse.
