WASHINGTON—Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif suggested during an interview with CNN a way on Monday to overcome the impasse over who goes first in returning to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, saying a top EU official could “synchronize” or “choreograph” the moves.

“There can be a mechanism to basically either synchronize it or coordinate what can be done,” Zarif told CNN when asked how to bridge the gap.
