Secretary of State Antony Blinken said it was ‘unlikely’ the US and Iran would reach a new nuclear deal anytime soon, adding to Western officials’ downbeat assessment over the prospects for reviving an accord that President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018.
“What we’ve seen over the last week or so in Iran’s response to the proposal put forward by the European Union is clearly a step backward and makes prospects for an agreement in the near-term, I would say, unlikely,” Blinken told reporters at a press conference in Mexico City.
“Iran seems either unwilling or unable to do what’s necessary to reach and agreement and they continue to try to introduce extraneous issues to the negotiations that make an agreement less likely,” Blinken said.
