Al Jazeera quoted the European Union's foreign policy chief as writing that Iran's response to the European Union's proposal to revive the nuclear agreement was "reasonable".
"There was a proposal from me as coordinator of the negotiations... and a response from Iran that I considered reasonable. It was transmitted to the United States, which has not yet responded formally," he told a university event in the northern Spanish city of Santander on Monday.
Borrell made the remark in an apparent reference to a response sent last week by Iran.
In the latest round of the Vienna talks in early August after a five-month hiatus the EU put forward a "final text" of the draft decision on the revival of Iran nuclear deal known as the JCPOA. Iran sent its own response to the EU and now is awaiting Washington's response to its proposals to reach a final agreement.
