Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that it doesn’t rule out the possibility of holding nuclear deal talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York as Tehran’s top nuclear negotiator will be in attendance.
“Ali Bagheri Kani, the chief nuclear negotiator, will be present at the … General Assembly as part of the delegation but there is no specific plan to discuss the nuclear deal. However, I do not rule out the possibility of talks regarding the nuclear deal,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.
Kanaani said that Iran is still open to negotiations, but US officials have said that the chances of restoring the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, are now unlikely and have accused Tehran of not being willing to reach an agreement.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told 60 Minutes in an interview that aired Sunday that the US needs to provide some sort of guarantees that it won’t withdraw from the JCPOA again. “It needs to be lasting. There need to be guarantees. If there were a guarantee, then the Americans could not withdraw from the deal,” Raisi said.
Because President Biden doesn’t have the power to guarantee that a future administration wouldn’t reimpose sanctions on Tehran, in recent negotiations, Iran was reportedly seeking a series of measures meant to deter the US from withdrawing from the deal.
But the US slammed Iran’s latest response in the negotiations that was delivered at the beginning of September, and talks have stalled since then. Israeli officials have bragged that their influence on the US has worked and that Washington hardened its stance in the talks with Iran as a result of Israeli pressure, a characterization the State Department has rejected.
Raisi is also attending the General Assembly and departed for New York on Monday. The Iranian leader said he had no plans to meet with President Biden or any other US leaders. “There is no plan for a meeting or negotiations with US leaders,” he said.
even russia does not endorse the iranian JCPOA nuclear deal.
if i was iran i would raise the price my oil for the sale to the rest of the world.
i would tell the entire world to suck it.
News to me.
Iran needs to do an end run and negotiate with other nations, then secure trade.
I just learned a new term from the Urban dictionary: “breadcrumbing”
It describes perfectly US dealing with Iran:
Lead Iran along with breadcrumbs of hope so that she does not
give up and fully embrace the BRICs
“US needs to provide some sort of guarantees that it won’t withdraw from the JCPOA again”
Again, as I said a hundred times here, that was one of the main goals of negotiating the treaty. So why were we told over and over that the “deal was almost done” when one of the two main goals of the negotiations was never agreed to by the US? Not to mention sanctions relief which, by all accounts, was also never fully agreed to by the US.
This has been a year-and-a-half hoax by the US and the media.
Too late. In fact, there was probably never any hope.
The US did not want a deal. Biden lied about that, or was made irrelevant by The Blob. It was never going to happen.
Now, will The Blob gets its war on Iran? Timing is bad, amidst war in Ukraine and the fight it is picking with China. But they are nuts, arrogant to the point of insanity, so they might do it the same way Hitler and Japan pulled the entire world down on their own heads.
Yes, I do mean to say there is a direct moral equivalence between The Blob and Hitler.
