Iran's message to US: We won't wait forever

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh in a message referred to US threatening to pull out of the talks, has said, "Iran is willing, but will not wait forever."

"US has already 'walked away' from JCPOA. We must make sure it won't happen again," Khatibzadeh wrote in his Twitter account on Tuesday. "Everyone has its own plan B, though US' has proven hollow," he added.

"Blusters & bluffs have/will not work. Decisions do. A deal is at hand, if WH makes its mind," he noted. "Iran is willing, but will not wait forever," he noted.

The eighth round of sanctions talks begun in Vienna on December 27 is ongoing in Vienna, after a short break, but without the US.

The Vienna talks have advanced due to the Iranian side's initiatives, yet the Western parties' procrastination to compensate for the US violation of the internationally-signed the JCPOA and its ongoing maximum pressure policy against Iran, indicate the West's lack of tendency to wrap up the negotiations.
