Pouyanne said the signing of US sanctions waivers, among other hurdles, cleared the path for the deal to be signed.
Total said earlier in February that a final decision on the deal hinged on the new US administration renewing the waivers.
Pouyanne also added he had met Iranian oil minister Bijan Zanganeh in Vienna on the sidelines of the OPEC meeting.
