The US is prepared to lift sanctions on Iran "inconsistent" with the 2015 nuclear deal.
The State Department did not offer specifics on what sanctions might be lifted.
The US and Iran are involved in indirect talks in Vienna as part of an effort to revive the deal.
The State Department on Wednesday said that the US is willing to lift sanctions on Iran that are "inconsistent" with the 2015 nuclear deal.
"We are prepared to take the steps necessary to return to compliance with the JCPOA, including by lifting sanctions that are inconsistent with the JCPOA. I am not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters, per Reuters. Prince was employing the acronym for the formal name of the 2015 pact - the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
