More ‘Transparency’ in Nuclear Talks

A more "transparent" atmosphere has been created in diplomatic efforts aimed at saving the 2015 nuclear deal, but Iran is still waiting for practical steps by Europe, a senior official said on Monday. 
In a press briefing in Tehran, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi described Sunday's emergency meeting with parties to the Iran nuclear agreement as "constructive" and “a step forward". 
"The atmosphere has become a little more transparent for continuation of the work [to ease tensions]. If some small agreements are reached, a foreign ministerial meeting will be held, which would be a positive step. We are still waiting for practical and tangible actions by the Europeans with regard to the nuclear accord," he was quoted as saying by Tasnim News Agency. 
The remaining signatories to the agreement—Britain, Germany and France plus Russia and China—met Iranian officials in Vienna for talks called in response to an escalation in tensions between Iran and the West, which included confrontations at sea and Tehran's decision to reduce its compliance with the nuclear deal.
