“The solution of a couple of pending issues requires a decision by the United States,” said the Iranian Foreign Minister, while stressing that the representative of the European Union (EU) Enrique Mora is pursuing such unresolved issues.

Questioned by local Irinn news channel, Amir Abdolahian stated that if Washington makes a realistic decision, a treaty may be reached.

Iran and the three NPT European signatories (UK, France and Germany) agreed on a text that only needs a final edition, the Iranian foreign minister said and claimed both China and Russia to back the agreement.

On Sunday, the EU coordinator for such talks Enrique Mora travelled to Iran as part of his latest attempts to solve the obstacles to reaching an agreement in Vienna.
