A solid month of expectations have said that the Vienna talks should lead to a new Iran deal any day now. It’s always contingent on one thing going right, and so far, its always something that doesn’t happen or is quickly replaced with a new issue.
US State Department officials are laying out where they view the situation, and it’s as it has been for weeks. The US is less optimistic than anyone, and continually preparing the idea that things might fall apart.
The State Department says a deal is “neither imminent nor certain,” a stark contrast from what everyone else has been saying, that the deal is imminent, and if not certain, all but certain.
Negotiations have been going for awhile, and while not everything is public about them, the indication is that the deal is virtually finalized, just waiting for everyone to sign off on a few minor issues.
And even though the US seems to not be trying to echo that narrative, they too are saying the onus of the final deal is on Iran, once again giving the impression that the final deal is there to be had.
Saying that the onus is down to one country is mostly a way to preemptively blame one side for any upcoming failure, with the US wanting to blame Iran, Iran wanting to blame the US, etc. Its not clear that there are any issues that remain stumbling blocks to finalization.
Wow! FINALLY the BS starts to unravel. I thought it would go on for the rest of the year. Yet the last sentence still reveals a complete incomprehension of what is going on. Do da words “cognitive dissonance” ring a bell?
Just get the damn thing done already…
“with the US wanting to blame Iran, Iran wanting to blame the US”
Iran was in full compliance when Trump got on his knees and serviced Bibi.
A side effect of our war on Russia means no deal with Iran. No U.S. President wants to ‘look weak’, especially as we try to mobilize the world against Russia. It takes the oxygen out of the room.
US excuse for not signing the deal Today: The continuation of Russia Ukraine Conflict…!
Biden was elected based on his promise to rejoin the JCPOA. But the Zionists don’t want a deal. So who will Biden listen to? The voters who elected him? Or the Zionists who dictate US policy in the Middle East? The US will continue to raise last minute objections over picayune details until the Iranians finally get tired of the charade. Then Biden will blame the Iranians for leaving the talks.
