Revolutionary Guards: There is no stability in the Middle East with the Biden administration
Baghdad / The Iraqi Future The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Major General Hossein Salami, said yesterday, Saturday, that the United States cannot be trusted, adding that the American strategy in the region under US President Joe Biden will not differ from his predecessor, Donald Trump. What is new, while he promised to remove the American forces from the region if they did not do so. Salami's statements come as international efforts continue to revive the nuclear agreement with Iran, after the United States withdrew from it in May 2018, and then Iran disavowed several obligations. Earlier, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, warned of what he called the United States and Britain's attempts to win Israel's approval regarding the nuclear deal. He considered the efforts of London and Washington a "distortion" of the goal of the Vienna talks, saying that Israel is the archenemy of the nuclear agreement. Tehran's position came after the foreign ministers of the United States and Britain visited Tel Aviv, and they made statements about the agreement with Iran.

He added, "The bilateral and consular issues between the two countries must be fully discussed."

 

The chief Iranian negotiator in the Vienna negotiations, Abbas Araqchi, announced that "the United States has expressed its willingness to lift a tangible part of its sanctions on Tehran, but the latter is demanding more."

He added in previous statements: "Information has been delivered to us from the American side that they are serious about their desire to return to the nuclear agreement and have announced so far their readiness to lift a large part of their sanctions."

He pointed out that "the American offer is not sufficient from Tehran's point of view, so the consultations will continue unless all our demands are met."

How will Raisi's victory in Iran's presidency affect the return of the country's oil to the markets?

 

Ebrahim Raisi wins Iran's presidential election

Reports Economy News - Baghdad Ultra-conservative cleric Ebrahim Raisi has won a landslide victory in Iran's presidential election, which could set Tehran on a more hostile course toward the West; World powers are trying to revive a nuclear deal that could bring Iran back into the global oil markets. While the rise of the 60-year-old Raisi may complicate efforts to revive the 2015 agreement to limit the Islamic Republic's nuclear activity, it is not expected to derail it because it has the blessing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Raisi, who was elected in an election with the lowest turnout in Iran's history, is seen as the favorite to succeed Iran's leader one day. The election of the former head of the judiciary, backed by the highest levels of Iran's religious and military establishment, means that all state institutions and the levers of power in Iran will be under the control of hardliners. Raisi's victory comes after the end of the eight-year presidency of moderate Hassan Rouhani, who helped seal the original nuclear deal that former US President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018. "We will certainly benefit from the experience of the current government. I will sit with the ministers and benefit from their experiences and opinions," Raisi said in a televised speech next to Rouhani after the results came out. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that "Iran's foreign policy, which is based on consensus, will continue" after results showed Raisi receiving 62% of the counted votes. While Raisi has said he will preserve the nuclear deal, he has also indicated that he does not want to make it the main concern of Iran's foreign policy. Rouhani remains in office until August, giving diplomats in Vienna a few more weeks to revive the nuclear deal that lifts sanctions on the Iranian economy. Two senior Western officials familiar with the negotiations told Bloomberg on Thursday that the talks were now likely to extend into the summer, while Zarif said there was a "good possibility" of reaching an agreement before the end of Rouhani's term. The US withdrawal from the deal empowered hardliners and fundamentalists in Iran, who had always been critical of the deal, and won control of parliament last year. Millions of voters stayed home in Friday's elections after most moderate and reformist candidates were disqualified from running. US sanctions on my boss "The problem is the apathy in negotiation," Zarif said. "But what is the reason for this apathy? You will see another vision from Iran." The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Raisi in 2019, citing his role in a deadly crackdown a decade ago against protesters alleging election fraud. Raisi received 17.8 million votes, according to the results announced today, Saturday, while the only moderate candidate in the race, Abdel Nasser Hemmati, came in third place with 2.4 million votes. The head of the Supreme Electoral Commission, Jamal Aref, said in a statement broadcast on state television that the turnout was 48%, the lowest ever. Officials who had strong security ties during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the predecessor to Rouhani, may also be asked to take over the portfolio of the Iranian Oil Ministry. The election of a hard-line president in Iran could complicate potential future relations with major European oil companies such as France's Total, which has abandoned a $5 billion project under the threat of Trump sanctions, handing it instead to Russian and Chinese developers and private engineering firms. With the Revolutionary Guard. Washington's withdrawal from the nuclear deal has heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf, fueling regional conflicts and prompting Tehran to abandon restrictions on its nuclear program contained in the deal and enrich uranium close to the level required for a bomb. It is not clear what Raisi would mean for Iran's policies in the region, particularly its troubled relationship with its Sunni rival Saudi Arabia. Raisi's closeness to the Revolutionary Guards means that his presidency can enhance his footprint on the economy and his influence on foreign policy decisions. Source: Bloomberg

US official: Serious differences exist over the Iranian nuclear deal, and there is no seventh round if we are not sure of the possibility of an agreement

June 24, 2021

174

 

Washington - (AFP) - Divisions remain over key issues between Iran and six major powers in talks aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, a US State Department official said at the conclusion of the sixth round.

But the US official, who asked not to be identified, stressed that the United States considers that an agreement in the talks hosted by Vienna is still possible, despite the election of the hard-line conservative Ibrahim Raisi as president of the Islamic Republic.

"There are still serious differences between us that have not yet been resolved," the US official said.

The official said that the two sides are at odds over pivotal issues, including the steps that Tehran must take to return to full compliance with the terms of the 2015 agreement, which is no longer in effect after US President Donald Trump withdrew from it three years ago.

The sanctions that Washington will offer to lift against Iran are still under discussion, as well as the exact sequence of actions that will be followed in the event of an agreement.

The official stressed that the agreement must be an integrated basket.

"We will not participate in a seventh round if we do not believe that it is possible to reach an agreement," he added.

After he succeeded Trump in the US presidency in January, Biden expressed his intention to return his country to the agreement, provided that Tehran once again complied with all its provisions.

Negotiations resumed in Vienna in April with the participation of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and representatives of the 2015 deal's supervisory body.

On Sunday, European Union negotiator Enrique Mora said the parties to the talks were "closer" to saving the nuclear deal, but thorny issues remained.

However, the election of Raisi last week raised questions about the possibility of a change in the Iranian position.

Although Raisi will not assume the presidency until August, on Monday he expressed his support for the Vienna talks.

Raisi stressed that he would not allow “negotiations for the sake of negotiations,” but that he supports “any talks that guarantee our national interests,” and that any negotiation must lead to “results” for the Iranian people.

The US official said Raisi's election "does not weaken our determination to seek an agreement."

"So far, the Iranians are serious about talks," he added.

But he stressed that despite the lack of specific deadlines, the talks cannot continue indefinitely, especially as Iran continues to develop its nuclear program.

"Time is certainly not a positive factor," the official said. This process will not remain open indefinitely.”

Iran rejects atomic energy demands to extend monitoring agreement

Sunday 27 June 2021 77

 

 Tehran: agencies 

Tehran's representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Kazem Gharibabadi, said: The agency does not have the right to ask Tehran to extend the agreement to monitor nuclear activities in Iran, and Gharibabadi stressed that "Iran is only committed to the safeguards agreement without addition or subtraction." "The IAEA does not have the right to ask Iran to extend and submit a report on its agreement with Tehran."

Abadi pointed out that "the interim agreement came as a political decision related to the negotiations of the nuclear agreement, and any decision regarding it is political and not a right of the agency," and stressed that "extending or not extending the agreement with the agency has nothing to do with Iran's obligations related to safeguards, as Iran continues to fulfill its obligations."

On Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that the Iranian government had not responded to the issue of extending the monitoring agreement, stressing the need to continue verification of nuclear activities in Iran.

The agency added that its director general, Rafael Grossi, stressed the "vital importance" of continuing verification and monitoring activities in Iran and collecting data on some nuclear facilities under the agreement. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency had previously reached, in February 2021, a technical agreement with Iran on conducting monitoring of nuclear activities in the country, and it was extended for a month last May.

In the same context, Reuters quoted a US State Department official as saying that Tehran should communicate with the Atomic Energy Agency "without delay" to ensure the continuation of the agreement to monitor nuclear activities in Iran. In addition, the Israeli ambassador to Russia, Alexander Ben-Zvi, suggested an escalation of tension in the Middle East with the new Iranian president, Ibrahim Raisi, ascending to power, describing him as a hard-line conservative.

Ben-Zvi said in an exclusive interview with the Russian “Sputnik” agency: “I think the situation will be more tense, because the new Iranian president, first of all, is very conservative, if we are talking about a religious approach, and if we talk about Israel, he announced (my chief ) Recently they are ready to restore relations with everyone except Israel. He is really a very conservative new president, especially unfortunately he is behind so many bodies," he claimed.

The ambassador added, "I do not see any transformation for the better (with the arrival of the new president in Iran), but on the contrary if he deals with this entire region from the perspective of a hard-line conservative, Iran poses a strategic threat to us. It is not only in its nuclear and military program, this is their issue. They talk about it all the time. There is also the ballistic missile program they have, and they don't only target Israel. If they have ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers, this is not only for Israel, Israel is closer. Their range reaches Europe and beyond."

Biden Admin Waives Sanctions on Iranian Oil Trade As DOJ Announces Charges On Spy Network

Iranian intel agents sought to kidnap American journalist

Adam Kredo • July 13, 2021 7:56 pm

 

 

The State Department informed Congress late Tuesday that it would waive sanctions on Iran's illicit oil trade so that the country can access frozen funds from South Korea and Japan, the same day the Department of Justice announced charges on an Iranian spy network that sought to kidnap an American.

The waiver, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, allows the "transfer of Iranian funds in restricted accounts to exporters in Japan and the Republic of Korea," according to a notification sent to Congress by the State Department. The waiver allows Iranian money that had been frozen as a result of American sanctions to be freed up without violating the law. "Allowing these funds to be used to repay exporters in these jurisdictions will make those entities whole with respect to the goods and services they exported to Iran, address a recurring irritant in important bilateral relationships, and decrease Iran’s foreign reserves," the waiver states.

 

The waiver was announced on the same day the Justice Department announced new charges against a network of Iranian intelligence agents who sought to kidnap an American journalist and bring her to Iran. The charges include kidnapping conspiracy, sanctions violations conspiracy, bank and wire fraud conspiracy, and money laundering conspiracy charges.

The sanctions relief also comes as the United States and Iran get closer to finalizing a revamped nuclear deal that will even further unwind sanctions on Tehran. Congressional Republicans are likely to oppose the move, which lessens economic pressure on Iran at a time when it is still funding regional terror groups and building out its nuclear weapons program. Sanctions of Iran's oil trade were a hallmark policy of the Trump administration, which sought to cut Iran's exports down to zero and deny the regime a key source of income.

Richard Goldberg, the former director for countering Iranian weapons of mass destruction on Trump's White House National Security Council, said the waiver will relieve pressure on Iran's floundering economy and give it access to much-needed cash.

"There’s a reason we talk about accessible foreign exchange reserves versus inaccessible foreign exchange reserves. If you free up money that’s trapped in foreign accounts for Iran to pay off debts, you are bailing out the regime and rescuing the mullahs from a balance of payments crisis," said Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "This is a bailout, plain and simple. And to announce it right as DOJ tells us Iran tried to kidnap an American journalist out of New York City—that’s a national outrage."

 

A State Department spokesman said Blinken signed the sanctions waiver to give Japan and Korea another 90-days to complete transactions with Iran.

"The secretary of state previously signed a waiver to allow funds held in restricted Iranian accounts in Japan and Korea to be used to pay back Japanese and Korean companies that exported non-sanctioned items to Iran," the spokesperson said. "These repayment transactions can sometimes be time consuming, and the secretary extended the waivers for another 90 days."

The State Department says the waiver "does not allow for the transfer of any funds to Iran," and will make whole Japanese and Korean companies that exported non-sanctioned goods and services before U.S. sanctions were tightened by the previous administration.

The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Tehran: We can enrich uranium to 90%

Byiraqi news

 

 

Continue/

Outgoing Iranian President Hassan Rouhani confirmed that his country can "enrich uranium to 90% for peaceful purposes when necessary."

Rouhani said: "The nuclear agreement did not disrupt the Iranian nuclear industry, and the Atomic Energy Organization is capable of enriching uranium by 20 and 60 percent, and if the need for the Tehran reactor calls for, it can enrich by 90 percent as well."

He added: "The nuclear agreement removed Iran's nuclear file from Chapter VII," stressing that "the nuclear agreement achieved international recognition of Iran's right to enrich uranium."

He criticized Parliament, saying: “If Article 60 of the Constitution (which is an article that places executive matters in the hands of the president and the government) had been strictly enforced, the sanctions would have been lifted since last March.. They robbed the government of the opportunity,” noting that “the sanctions could have been lifted since Last March, but there were those who did not want that to happen during this government.”

And Rouhani added: "The table for lifting sanctions is ready today, but the doors must be opened... We achieved everything we wanted in the negotiations, and they robbed the current government of the opportunity to reach an agreement, but I hope that the next government will be able to finish the task... We are very sorry for the loss of 6 months."

And he added, "The nuclear agreement proved that the complex and important issues between Iran and the major powers, and even international organizations, can be resolved through dialogue," noting that "the economic growth that Iran witnessed after the signing of the nuclear agreement was achieved thanks to negotiation and constructive interaction, and whoever says otherwise is a liar."

The outgoing Iranian president pointed out that "the US sanctions on Iranian oil have deprived us of financial revenues estimated at sixty billion dollars annually," explaining that "the US sanctions have impeded imports, and all we are witnessing are problems in the economy resulting from delays in importing."

Rouhani stressed that, "Achieving development requires the entry of investments into the country."

Rouhani is under fire from conservatives (Getty)

 

At a time when only a week of his term remains, Iranian President  Hassan Rouhani defended , today, Sunday, the record of his government, amid attacks against him and his government from the conservative movement , and talk that he inherited a failed executive authority, and a huge number of problems to his conservative successor, Ibrahim Raisi, who He will assume his duties on the fifth of next month, two days after his election as president was signed by the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei .
However, Rouhani, for his part, blames the conservative-dominated parliament for the status quo and the failure to lift US sanctions on Iran.
Today, Sunday, Rouhani said, "Some problems have nothing to do with the government, but they count against it. If he had acted according to the necessary powers granted to us by the constitution, the sanctions would have been lifted from us at the beginning of the year 1400 (the Iranian that began on March 21)," in reference to The "Strategic Action to Repeal Sanctions" law in the Iranian parliament, which Rouhani considers to have violated his powers. 

 

Rouhani accused the Iranian parliament of "cuffing the government's hand through its decision", that is, the law it passed, adding: "If they had allowed us to complete the negotiations and had not tied our hands and feet, we would have reached an agreement in mid-March. The document is there and the overall agreement between us and Group 1 + 5 It is clear, but the decision of the Council (Parliament) shackled us.” 
He also criticized the Iranian regime's Expediency Council's failure to approve his country's involvement in the Paris-based International Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which blacklisted Iran in early 2020, which restricts its commercial dealings with abroad.  
He stressed that Iran was subjected to "an economic war unparalleled in its history, and perhaps the least similar in the history of the world," criticizing his government's responsibility for the economic crisis.
He said, "It is not true that some people think that the government is negligent regarding this economic situation." 
He continued, "The economic war has nothing to do with the government. It was launched by a man (Donald Trump) in the White House. There are government issues that the government is not able to solve alone, and there are issues that count on the government, but they have nothing to do with it."

 

On the other hand, the head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Parliament) in Iran, Abbas Gulro, responded to the recent repeated accusations of Rouhani against the parliament, saying that the law approved by the legislature “forced” the United States and Europe to launch the Vienna negotiations.  
He added, in an interview with the Iranian "Mehr" agency, that these negotiations "was the result of that law," which he said was approved in order to lift sanctions and protect Iranian rights, while stressing that he "did not put any obstacles in the way of negotiations." 
To defend this law, Gulro cited the Iranian leader's statements about the law, describing it as "good to be implemented."  
On December 1, the parliament passed the "Strategic Action to Repeal Sanctions" law, which came days after the assassination of prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in response to it. It provides for the implementation of escalatory nuclear steps, to compel the other parties to lift sanctions, including raising the rate of uranium enrichment to 20 percent, then 60 percent, as well as suspending the implementation of the Additional Protocol governing strict international control over the nuclear program, as well as other steps. 
But Rouhani believes that the adoption of this law and the implementation of its provisions later failed to lift sanctions on Iran last March, before the Vienna negotiations began last April.  

 

Iran and the United States have engaged in six rounds of the Vienna talks indirectly, through the parties to the agreement (Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany), and the seventh round is facing a state of ambiguity and the date has not been set yet. Finally, however, Tehran confirmed that the parties to the negotiations should wait until the formation of the new Iranian government headed by Ibrahim Raisi. 
The scattered negotiations aim to revive the nuclear agreement, through Washington's return to it by lifting the sanctions imposed on Iran, in exchange for the latter's return to its nuclear commitments. 
For his part, in a report sent to parliament by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif earlier this month, he accused Israel of obstructing Washington's return to the nuclear agreement, by assassinating Fakhrizadeh "only three weeks after the election of Joe Biden," describing As "the first operational embodiment of the comprehensive Israeli tendency to destroy or at least complicate the possibility of Biden's return to the nuclear agreement."
In his report, Zarif stated that Israel "relatively succeeded in preventing Biden from quickly returning to the nuclear agreement," but indirectly criticized Iran's response to the assassination and other incidents. Implementation of the Additional Protocol (which governs international oversight of the nuclear program) and the start of 60 percent enrichment of uranium have complicated America's return to the nuclear deal." 
He added that "the bilateral attempts of Iran and the United States to manufacture pressure tools represent one of the factors complicating Biden's return to the commitments to the nuclear agreement and prolonging their duration."

Iran: The embargo cut oil revenues by $100 billion

 

Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh. "Show us"

Arabic and international Economy News - Baghdad Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh said on Monday that the ban on Iran's oil exports "has deprived us of $100 billion." Zangana added, in a presidential meeting, that "the export of petroleum products in this government cannot be measured in the previous periods before the ban," according to IRNA. He explained, "In the period before the embargo, we had an exemption to export more than one million barrels of crude oil, but in this period (the 12th government) we did not have an exemption to export crude oil, gas condensate or petrochemical products, not even a barrel or one ton." . Zanganeh stressed that "since the beginning of the embargo, it has become clear that we will achieve a deficit in foreign trade worth 50 billion dollars annually, as the embargo has deprived us of 100 billion dollars in oil revenues," noting that "the goal of the economic war was not the collapse of the economy, but the collapse of the regime." .

Iranian Foreign Ministry: We will not allow attritional negotiations with Washington

Tuesday 24 August 2021 86

 

 Tehran: agencies

 

The Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed, on Monday, that Tehran wants the Vienna negotiations on the nuclear agreement to go in the right direction, and that it will not allow it to turn into exhaustive negotiations. 

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in his weekly press conference: "We want the Vienna negotiations to move in the right direction, because the most prominent problem today is the non-compliance of the European parties and the United States with the nuclear agreement."

He added that "our position on the nuclear negotiations is consistent, sanctions must be lifted and the parties abide by their commitments," adding that "Washington has not pledged anything since its exit from the nuclear agreement," calling on European parties to abide by the nuclear agreement. 

Tehran is demanding that Washington lift sanctions imposed by the Trump administration before it backtracked on steps it had taken to abandon full compliance with the agreement.

In talks aimed at reviving the agreement, the US and Iranian sides differ on the steps to be taken and when to remove mutual suspicions and ensure full compliance with its terms.

In the context of talking about Iranian policy, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a video message to the people of Iran on the occasion of the end of his duties, apologized for the shortcomings in his procedures.

"In these last days of my service to you as foreign minister, I thank you all, good people of Iran, for your generosity and hospitality. At the same time, I apologize for all the deficiencies and errors in the calculations, and I ask you to forgive me and forgive me," Zarif said on his Instagram account.

He continued, "It is certain that we have not achieved all of our foreign policy objectives in the past eight years. History will judge the value of our achievements and the reasons for our failure. But we have always done our best to promote foreign policy, peace, health and the welfare of the people, and protect the rights of the nation, the national economy and the development of the country."

He pointed out that in some situations he was not free to act according to his convictions, noting, "To protect national interests, I could not always speak as I would like, and I testify that during four decades of service in foreign policy I had no standards other than defending the interests of the Iranian people."

US warns Iran window for negotiations may soon close

Biden administration implores Iran to return to nuclear talks without delay.

Friday 24/09/2021

 

 

Blinken says the possibility of getting back to mutual compliance is not indefinite

NEW YORK - The Biden administration is imploring Iran to quickly return to talks on its nuclear program after a three-month hiatus caused by its government transition, warning that the window for negotiations may soon close.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a senior administration official said Thursday that US patience is wearing thin and that further delays while Iran continues to expand its atomic capabilities could lead Washington and its partners to conclude a return to the landmark 2015 nuclear deal is no longer worthwhile.

“We don’t have yet an agreement by Iran to return to the talks in Vienna,” Blinken said. “We are very much prepared to return to Vienna and continue the talks. The question is whether, and if so when, Iran is prepared to do that.”

Blinken and the senior official, who briefed reporters on condition that he not be identified by name, spoke as diplomats from the remaining parties to the agreement have been meeting Iran’s foreign minister on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly to gauge Tehran’s willingness to return to the talks.

While Iran has said it is ready to rejoin the talks, it has not yet offered a date for a resumption, named a negotiating team or indicated that it is willing to pick up where the negotiations left off in June, according to the officials.

In discussions with representatives from the remaining parties to the deal — Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union — the officials said all of them had agreed on the importance of resuming the talks as soon as possible.

If the talks don't resume, the officials said the US would at some point determine that Iran was no longer interested in the benefits that the accord offered or that its recent technological advances could not be undone by the limits it imposed.

“The possibility of getting back to mutual compliance is not indefinite,” Blinken said. “And the challenge right now is that with every passing day, as Iran continues to take actions that are not in compliance with the agreement ... we will get to a point at some point in the future at which simply returning to mutual compliance with the JCPOA will not recapture the benefits.”

The UN's atomic watchdog has said Iran is increasingly in violation of the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA, which former President Donald Trump withdrew the US from in 2018. The US has participated indirectly in the Vienna talks, which were aimed at bringing both Washington and Tehran back into compliance with the deal.

The EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, met Tuesday with Iran's new foreign minister, who reiterated Tehran’s “willingness to resume negotiations at an early date," the EU said. Borrell then met Wednesday with Blinken.

Borrell stressed “the need for full cooperation” from Iran and reiterated his concern about the overall trajectory of the Iranian nuclear program,” the EU statement said.

The last round of talks in Vienna ended in June, ahead of Iran’s elections that boosted the ranks of hard-liners. There had been speculation that the remaining parties to the deal would meet on the sidelines of this week’s UN General Assembly. But the US official said Iran had declined the opportunity to meet.

Iran Deal

September 24, 2021

Iran’s new foreign minister said Friday that Tehran will "very soon" resume its participation in talks aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will return to the table of negotiations. We are reviewing the Vienna negotiations files currently and, very soon, Iran’s negotiations with the 'four plus one' countries will recommence," Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told reporters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly summit. 

US President Joe Biden is seeking to rejoin the nuclear accord abandoned by his predecessor in 2018, but multilateral talks in Vienna have stalled since the election of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in June. No date has been set for a seventh round of negotiations between those still party to the deal —  Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union — and Iran. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that the United States is prepared to return to Vienna for indirect negotiations, but “The question is whether, and if so when, Iran is prepared to do that.”

He added that the window is closing for Iran to return to the table and resume compliance under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which restricted Iran’s nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief. In recent months, Iran has increased its stockpile of enriched uranium and installed advanced centrifuges in violation of the deal. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s atomic watchdog, informed member states last month that Iran had enriched uranium up to 60%, a major breach of the 3.67% allowed under the JCPOA but still short of the 90% Iran would need to build a bomb.

“The challenge right now is that with every passing day, as Iran continues to take actions that are not in compliance with the agreement,” Blinken said. “We will get to a point at some point in the future at which simply returning to mutual compliance with the JCPOA will not recapture the benefits.”

Separately on Friday, Amir-Abdollahian also said ongoing direct talks between Iranian and Saudi counterparts have been “constructive.” The two regional rivals began talks in Baghdad earlier this year, aimed at easing tensions that have soared amid the war in Yemen and other proxy conflicts.
