Restoring the deal from 2015 would mean all limits on the production of nuclear material would still expire in 2030, at which point Iran would be free to resume the kind of fuel production it has underway now.Credit...Majid Asgaripour/Associated Press
New York Times: U.S. and Allies Close to Reviving Nuclear Deal With Iran, Officials Say
A return to a 2015 accord is on the table, but the next decisions are up to the new government in Tehran, the Biden administration says.
WASHINGTON — The United States and its European allies appear on the cusp of restoring the deal that limited Iran’s nuclear program, Biden administration officials said on Monday, but cautioned that it is now up to the new government in Tehran to decide whether, after months of negotiations, it is willing to dismantle much of its nuclear production facilities in return for sanctions relief.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, a senior State Department official signaled that negotiators had reached a draft agreement last week in Vienna. It would essentially return to the 2015 deal that President Donald J. Trump discarded four years ago, over the objections of many of his key advisers. Ultimately, that freed Iran to resume its nuclear production, in some cases enriching nuclear fuel to levels far closer to what is needed to make nuclear weapons.

WNU Editor: Iran has not changed or compromised on their position at all. The only way that I see a deal happening is if the Biden administration capitulates.
Capitulate. What would Biden do?
ReplyDeleteIn your dreams biden i hope izrail blows the living shit out of iran before they take izrail out .
ReplyDeleteOf course Biden is going to capitulate. He's the ONLY one that wants a deal. Iran does not need it but will take one if it costs them nothing. Whatever they agree to won't be followed and the US govt/media will ignore any violations so they can say see, we had a foreign policy success. We're awesome. LOL. The damage being done to the world is going to be felt for quite some time. All because we're pretending a man with dementia can lead the west.
