The United States says it was encouraged that Iran appears to have dropped some of its demands in responding to a proposal to revive its nuclear deal.

US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price talking to reporters in Washington stressed that US is working to quickly secure a mutual return to compliance with the agreement.

He said the United States is formulating a response to Iran’s reply to the European Union-led proposal and will convey it after internal consultations and talks with allies.

Price said that there are still some outstanding issues between the parties that must be resolved and gaps bridged.
