Speaking about the ongoing nuclear talks in Vienna, Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected the notion of an interim deal being reached, saying that they are holding out for a “sustainable and reliable” deal that would last.
Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said neither verification nor sanctions relief would make much sense in the context of an interim deal, and that anything which doesn’t accomplish that is not on the agenda.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahiian says things are on the right track for a good agreement. French Foreign Minister Le Drian confirmed talks are on a “rather positive path.”
Since the talks began with the notion of returning the US to the P5+1 nuclear deal, it’s unclear why a second, interim agreement even came up. All indications are that Iran is willing to return to the deal as it was originally written, if and only if the US returns and finally delivers on promised sanctions relief.
More utterly reasonable demands from the actual injured party in the deal’s breach.
While Israel, which really does have nukes and makes constant threats, is treated like a paragon of virtue.
Israel should have nukes.
It does.Have you not noticed ? How does this help the world?
It doesn’t. It helps Israel. That’s the point of being able to defend yourself
Farce.
So, in reality, no deal is possible. The US is incapable of “sustainable and reliable” deals. Trump proved that. And if a deal was reached, what are the odds it passes an Israel-controlled Congress?
Same as we see in the US-Russia talks. The USA rambles on, punishes the wicked enemies by vicious sanctions, refuses to follow any international laws and sits back telling us how wonderful, democratic and human-righteous it is.
An interim agreement would mean the US gets the permanent changes it wants while actually delivering nothing in return. So, more of the same Deal breaking.
