The EU’s return to the Iran nuclear talks in Vienna appears to have borne fruit, as after just four days they have submitted what they are calling the final text that tackles everything. The text had been more or less finalized for months, but the EU is now saying this is it, and the question is if Iran and the US will accept it as written.
For Iran, this appears a straightforward matter. They want the inquiry on uranium particles found at undisclosed sites resolved, and that’s the red line for that country to accept what’s on offer.
The US, however, is not clear at all as to its intentions. The Biden Administration has said there is no cost to hearing out the process but has been very stubborn about agreeing to anything. The Administration will probably want to keep the inquiry going, for spite if for nothing else.
The EU is very hopeful that they’ve succeeded with the draft text, and Russian envoy Mikhail Ulyanov told reporters that that “we stand five minutes or five seconds from the finish line.”
The negotiations may have finished up, but whether it’s a good or bad finish is still very much up in the air.
I trust the EU followed by the Iranians, followed by the US followed by the Russians. Sadly
My order for this issue, Russians, Iranians, EU, U.S.
The Russians have the least motive to lie, Iran will sometimes lie, the EU is basically subservient to the U.S., the compulsive liar.
Strange headline given that the Iranians deny this. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2022/08/08/687026/Iran-Vienna-talks-Europeans-final-text-US . Seems to me like the normal Western posturing to kow tow to the Western line when they in effect reneged on the deal. The facts are that the USA did not fulfill their part of the deal. The EU followed suit (on the basis that they did not want to fall foul of US sanctions on Iran). Now the EU really needs Iranian oil and possibly gas, so expect it to try and get the JCPOA renewed. Its time for the EU to stand up for itself.
Agree totally.
The Iranian response so far. https://t.me/presstv/50330
US won’t agree because they want EU to buy the more expensive Oil and Gas from US…!
Are the Euros aware that they are swirling down the toilet?
I doubt it, Lord. By being Amerikkka’s bitches, they’re so full of sh*t up to their ears and eyeballs that their senses have been eliminated.
Fiercely independent Ireland is usually the exception.
It seems clear that those around Biden want war with Iran.
They have sold out on this to the extreme right in Israel, that even Israel’s own intelligence service rejects. It is pure politics, and of the dysfunctional sort that leads to disaster, like Mussolini’s various adventures.
