Top Iranian negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani, who arrived in Tehran last night on a short trip from Vienna has tweeted "Being near the finish line is no guarantee to crossing that. It requires extra caution, much perseverance, additional creativity and balanced approach to take the last step."
"To finish the job, there are certain decisions that our Western interlocutors need to take," Bagheri Kani added.

Furthermore, the Iranian Foreign Minister stated on Wednesday in a joint press conference with his Omani counterpart that there are few but very important issues left in the Vienna talks to be decided by the western parties to respond to Iran's demands.
Iran will never cross its red lines Under no circumstances in the negotiations, he added
