Negotiations over the past 16 months between Iran and the other world powers that signed the agreement in 2015 have progressed and Iran has asked the US for flexibility to lock in the final pending margins.
Attempts to de nuclear deal 2015 may bear fruit in the coming days. At the moment, the European Commission, together with the other parties to the pact, is studying Iran’s response to the EU’s latest proposal at the beginning of the month.
Iran has been negotiating with Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China — and the United States, indirectly — since April 2021 to reinstate the 2015 pact that restricted Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions.
That covenant it broke when Donald Trump left it in 2018 unilaterally and again imposed economic sanctions on Iran.
Tehran responded a year later by ramping up its nuclear efforts and enriching uranium.
For the past 16 months, the world powers and Iran have been negotiating to restore the agreement, so far in vain.
The last round of the talks were held in Vienna between the August 4 and 8 and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, then presented a new proposal to conclude the agreement, which he defined as the “final text”.
Iran responded to this proposal on Monday, and according to the Asian country’s foreign minister, Hosein Amirabdolahian, it is conceivable that a rapprochement “in the coming days” will come “if the United States shows a realistic approach and flexibility”.
“We have clearly told the United States that we are ready to announce the agreement and that we will have a meeting of foreign ministers in Vienna with the final conclusions when our final points are fulfilled,” he added. statements to the press.
According to Western diplomatic sources, the main problems to be solved For Tehran, on the one hand, they are guarantees that the United States will not give up the accord again as former President Donald Trump did in 2018.
Another pending issue is Iran’s request to close an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) investigation into the origin of trace amounts of uranium found in three places that Iran had not declared.
However, agreements have been reached on other issues that have stood in the way of an agreement in the past, such as the US sanctions against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
