On Monday, France blamed Iran for dragging out the indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. The French Foreign Ministry said Iran risked endangering the talks if it does not return to the negotiations soon.
“If it continues on this path, not only will it continue to delay when an agreement to lift sanctions can be reached, but it risks jeopardizing the very possibility of concluding the Vienna talks and restoring the JCPOA,” French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Agnes von der Muhll told reporters, according to Reuters.
The JCPOA talks started back in April. The process is being dragged out due to the Biden administration’s refusal to lift all Trump-era sanctions. Despite Biden’s stubbornness and the fact that the US is the party that violated the deal in the first place, Western countries still blame Iran for the lack of progress.
The last round of talks concluded on June 20th, and they won’t start up again until after Iran’s President-elect Ibrahim Raisi replaces President Hassan Rouhani in August. Meanwhile, the US is reportedly considering hitting Iran with new sanctions that would target oil sales to China in the event that the talks fail or possibly as a way to gain more leverage for the negotiations.
Dragging out the talks does risk failure.
That is why the US is dragging them out. It does not really want the deal it had.
So of course, blame it on Iran for not surrendering to the Trump project, re-labeled as Biden’s as if it is now clean and new and a good idea.
Gotta love that NUCLEAR powers have veto rights in the UN and in war too, because of the nuclear veto the can deliver to the battle field of the opposing sides largest or Capitol City. It’s time for the non-nuclear powers to be able to go nuclear if threatened by one of the IAEA “Approved” nuclear powers. Then there is this third catagory of rogue nuclear states who claim neithe a legitimate nuclear program or non nuclear status and use their ambiguity to play victim and victimizer They think the much vaunted “rules based order” & its International Atomic Energy Administration is a joke and is easy to scam as young children. Who is to blame here and is there a solution to states gaining and possessing these weapons in defiance of IAEA rules and strictures……?????
Do I hear a poodle yapping?
That’s right pick on the victim. Typical two faced France.
Who the Hell is France to dictate to Iran? Was it Iran that quit the deal or the Orange clown?
France and the rest of EU failed to even enable the INTEX so you Mr. Macron should be the last country to blame Iran. When you and the rest of the EU grow a pair, then we will talk to you, till then shut the F up!!
