Iran says foresees nuclear talks resuming by early November

"I don't think it will take us the same amount of time as it took the Biden administration to come," Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday referring to US diplomats under President Joe Biden indirectly joining the Vienna talks.
For the government of Iran's new President Ebrahim Raisi, "I don't think the (return to talks) will take as much as 90 days," he said, suggesting talks will be underway again by early November.
It is the first time Iran has suggested a rough date for a possible return to the table.
In 2018 then-US president Donald Trump withdrew from the multilateral nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and began reimposing sanctions om Iran.
Tehran gradually started rolling back its commitments in response to the US withdrawal and the noncompliance of other signatories to the deal, as foreseen in the JCPOA.

Talks in Vienna to revive the deal have been stalled since June, when Ebrahim Raisi was elected as Iran's president. He took office on August 3 and formed his government over the following weeks.

Khatibzadeh on Monday said Iran's new administration was "examining the details" of the previous rounds of nuclear talks.
"As soon as this is done we will not waste one hour and we will give a new date" for the resumption of discussions, he added.
The foreign ministry spokesman added that the other parties to the talks must embrace the change in Iran's government by showing "flexibility and comprehension". 
Biden -- who took office in January -- has signaled a willingness to return to the deal.
