The indirect talks between the US and Iran in Qatar are reportedly over, gone as soon as they came, and with no measurable progress on the nuclear process stalled for months.
The EU put the talks together Tuesday, and Qatar hosted. The talks ended as deadlocked as ever Wednesday. The details are still emerging on where we go from here.
The US came into these talks pessimistic, and Iran reported that the US refused to promise Iran any benefit from sanctions relief. Iranian media claimed the US wanted to revive the deal with no benefit for Iran.
That’s not a surprise, as the 2015 deal came with the US never honoring any of its obligations, and kept not benefiting Iran right up until the US reneged on the deal outright. The 2015-2018 period seems to be what the US would like to return to, a deal in name only.
Just not “agreement capable,” as Russia put it … negotiating with the US is pointless.
“Iranian media claimed the US wanted to revive the deal with no benefit for Iran.”
What?! You mean moving the sanctions from the nuclear related column to the non-nuclear related column wasn’t good enough? And I suppose they’re still pissed about their IRGC being kept on the terror list while we consider navy SEALs who murder naked POW’s to be heroes? Or they probably have a problem with a neighboring parasite of a country having a tad too much influence during these so-called negotiations while that same parasite of a country does their own terror attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and murders their scientists? You just can’t please some people, I guess.
Another trophy for you Wars!
Idiot Trump pulls out of a good deal aimed to create a path for peace, then kills the Iranian Top General. Fast forward, US continues to look away while Israel, the son of God, is killing other sons of God in the name of f..cking God and trying hard to get the our blood spilled in the process. Iran would like to get back to the JCPOA part 2 but then won’t accept additional conditions (understood) and on top of that, makes threat such as vowing to get a revenge kill on its General. Stay tune for the next episode of this never ending drama two decades from now.
Another joke “negotiation” with the US. Look, the neocons and Israel want to attack Iran. So anyone who ever thought a deal could be struck was delusional over the past year and a half.
Good to see you back Richard, have missed your comments on this issue. The deal was always Iran complies and US doesn’t, don’t know why Iran even bothered. The EU was always the good cop to US bad cop but couldn’t convince Iran in the end what a great deal this was despite threatened consequences.
The USA did not treat the Europeans any better than they did Iran, they were forced to break their commitments with Iran or be sanctioned.
Who needs enemies if you have friends like that?
That is why NATO will come apart first chance the Europeans get, they need to do it fast. Waiting until the continent is scorched earth will be too late.
Biden’s policies are neo-goons policies, they want the end for the EU and NATO only as their proxy.
The EU, China and Russia and India would be an enormous economical competition, therefore they must go, until then they still need NATO.
Iran will join BRIC’s and sign defense pacts with China and Russia effectively ending the threats from Israel, sooner the better.
I hope so Pat….I hope so.
Cheer pal
Amerikkkan lies and broken deals.
They never end.
American story is over.
Exactly.
China is the first chapter of the new story.
US story is over…! America is a Continent which should have never been chosen for US name…!
Israel has done a fantastic job in expediting America’s downfall and its agents in Senate and Congress are handing over Russia and Iran on a silver platter to China. Without firing a single bullet, China has secured its energy, food supply and natural resources for the next 50 to 100 years. Indeed by 2030, we will see China’s century as the sole super power.
The US/EU must want to see Iranian hydrocarbons flowing again, as would China, hence the advantage of making the deal. Russia would presumably prefer to see less oil and gas on the global markets keeping prices high and supplies threatened, so would be adverse to an agreement. Israel has been against the JCPOA from the beginning and has threatened military action against Iran if necessary, possibly in alliance with Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This is speculation, but supported by history, how nations end up getting the war they don’t want because they have no alternative: having to go to war in a vain deluded attempt to prevent the war they are ultimately doomed to fight.

At the beginning Biden said he wanted a better deal than JCPOA was. It was a humiliating deal for Iran and Biden knows how difficult it was to get that far. And he knew wanting even more would be enough to close the door. Now seeing what kind of president he is, I think, that is what he wanted. An unacceptable deal and put the blame on Iran for not taking it.
Time for Iran to move on, fortify its nuclear and other infrastructural facilities and point more missiles and drones toward Tel Aviv and its so called Allies…!
Biden is going to Israel to get his orders from Netanyahu face to face, We just need to see what he orders Biden to do. I was watching Biden’s news conference, answering why he is going to Saudi Arabia, is it to ask for more oil production? He said no, he is going to Israel first, and Israel wants him to go to Saudi Arabia. Biden is a moron, indecisive, incompetent, and way over his head. He is also owned by the Israeli lobby. His administration is full of Israeli agents.
