VIENNA (Reuters) – France’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that the opportunity to reach a deal on reviving the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and world powers was closing and called on all sides to take a responsible approach to reach an agreement.

“We are very close to an agreement, but the window of opportunity is closing,” Foreign ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre told reporters in a daily briefing.

“We are concerned about the risks that additional delays pose to the possibility of concluding. Together with our E3 partners, we call on all parties to take a responsible approach and make the decisions necessary to conclude this agreement.”
