The International Atomic Energy Agency can’t always decide what they want Iran to do, but they are consistently displeased with the status quo, announcing Monday that they are “uncomfortable” with the current pause in the Vienna nuclear talks.
IAEA director Rafael Grossi says he has a “number of questions” for Iran with respect to this pause, and doesn’t like the position it puts the IAEA in that the talks have temporarily stopped.
That’s temporary. Iran has been very clear that their intention is to restart the talks after the inauguration of President-elect Ebrahim Raisi. This is to take place August 9, meaning the pause is only going to be about three weeks.
The IAEA has struggled with its position on Iran, bouncing from defending workaround deals to keep monitoring going during the talks to following up with statements critical of Iran in very vague terms, and often using misleading statements to portray the Iranians in a negative light.
I suspect the reason that the Iranians have asked to wait is so that the new President has his version of negotiations go through….. The Rest of the world doesnt want a repeat of what Donald Trump did to the already established deal that President Obama arranged. To often we have seen the going back on a countries word after a regime change. The United States did it with Iran before, and they also did it with North Korea after President Clinton negotiated a Nuclear deal with North Korea, and dont forget it was the exact same person that killed the North Korean Deal as Killed the Iran deal, John Bonkers Bolton. We all know what the result of Boltons interference in North Korea caused….. the North Koreans building Nuclear weapons. I am sure we dont want to see Iran building them as well. Be clear Iran as a nation not subject to US or one of its allies Aggression is less likely to need to build Nukes than one that is threatened on an almost daily basis.
