VIENNA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th May, 2021) So far, there have been no official contacts between Iran and the United States on the Vienna site, but this has not prevented progress on the matter, Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov said.

On Wednesday, the fourth round of talks on the Iranian nuclear deal, aimed at restoring the agreement and returning the United States to its participants, ended in Vienna.
