Iran says last-ditch talks to save the nuclear pact with world powers are a step forward but they failed to meet Tehran's expectations of economic benefits.
European countries have offered too little at last-ditch talks to persuade Iran to back off from its plans to breach limits imposed by its nuclear agreement with world powers, Iran's envoy says.
Iran's envoy, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, said the talks were"a step forward, but it is still not enough and not meeting Iran's expectations". In particular, it wants its oil exports restored to the level of April 2018, before Trump reimposed sanctions. So far, European proposals to protect Iran from the impact of US sanctions have failed, with Iran largely shunned in international oil markets and all major companies cancelling plans to invest there for fear of falling afoul of US rules.
