New US demands in nuclear talks are illogical and contradict Washington’s desire for a speedy agreement, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told the European Union’s High Representative Josep Borrell on Thursday according to the semi-official Fars news agency. Iran and world powers are in the last stage of negotiations to revive a 2015 nuclear agreement meant to restrict Tehran’s nuclear programme in favour of lifting sanctions targeting its economy since 2018.
