"We will continue the talks on Thursday ... and await practical steps by the West," Iran's top negotiator Ali Bakri Kani was quoted as telling Iranian media during a visit to Moscow by the semi-official news agency ISNA.
Earlier, the Tasnim news agency said Bakri Kani had finalized the date of the resumption of the talks after contacting European Union coordinator Enrique Mora.
The talks broke off on Friday as European officials voiced dismay at sweeping demands by Iran's new, hardline government.
The seventh round of talks in Vienna is the first with delegates sent by Iran's anti-Western President Ebrahim Raisi on how to resuscitate the agreement under which Iran limited its nuclear program in return for relief from economic sanctions.
On Monday, Iran said there would not be any "halts or step-by-step agreements or temporary agreements" when nuclear talks resumed in Vienna later this week.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, told reporters at a news conference in Tehran that his country won't allow its "time or energy to be wasted" by other parties involved in talks.
"We are neither in a hurry nor will we allow our time and energy to be wasted by anyone in Vienna. Hopefully, everyone will soon be able to see that our team appears in Vienna with the goal of a good agreement and we hope the opposing side appears with this same goal," he said.
