The European Union’s Deputy Foreign Policy Chief Enrique Mora, is expected to visit Tehran to hold talks with senior Iranian officials on the outstanding issues pertaining to the revival of the 2015.

Mora, who is also the head of the Joint Commission of the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), will arrive in Tehran on Tuesday, Iran's Nour News website, affiliated with the country's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), reported on Saturday.

"Given the European Union's role in exchanging views between Tehran and Washington, Enrique Mora's trip to Tehran could be seen as a new step in constructive consultations on a few but important issues [which have remained in the Vienna talks]," it added.

EU attempts to save JCPOA with last-ditch effort: Borrell

European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell also said on Saturday that the bloc is making a last-ditch attempt to save the JCPOA and break the existing deadlock.

Speaking to the Financial Times, Borrell added that he was seeking a “middle way” to end the impasse, which threatens to scupper more than a year of diplomatic efforts between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries, coordinated by the EU.

According to the FT, Borrell is weighing a scenario whereby the designation on the IRGC is lifted, but kept in place on other parts of the organization.

In a statement signed by over 250 members of the Iranian Parliament last month, the majority of the parliamentarians said that in order for a new agreement on the JCPOA revival to be successful, the US administration must give a legally firm guarantee that it will not quit that agreement again.
