Via tweet from the foreign minister, H.Amirabdollahian:
Had a productive conversation w @JosepBorrellF today.
Efforts to reach a good & durable agreement continue; it is within reach if US acts realistically & consistently.
No single party can determine end result; a joint endeavor is needed. Reason should prevail.

I have lost count of the number of encouraging words that have come out of each side of these negotiations. And yet, still no agreement. Still, better than non-encouraging words I guess.
