John Kirby, the US National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications, said that Washington is not in a position to reopen the nuclear agreement with Iran. As a commitment, Kirby stated to the press that President Joe Biden “still believes that the diplomatic strategy is the best” to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. However, we are still far from ensuring that the combined comprehensive work plan is implemented.
Iranian negotiators have returned with unreasonable demands, which many people believe have nothing to do with the original accord.
“We are focusing on the government accountability on what it does with innocent demonstrators,” Kirby continued.
On October 3, Tehran considered that the revival of the agreement on its nuclear program with the major powers “is still possible.
“The 2015 nuclear deal reached between Tehran and six major world powers—Washington, Paris, London, Moscow, Beijing, and Berlin—provided sanctions on the Islamic Republic in exchange for reducing its nuclear activities and ensuring the peace of its programme, but the United States withdrew from it in 2018 during the administration of its former President Donald Trump. Iran’s response to the United States’ retreat from its obligations was to reimpose sanctions.
In April 2021, negotiations to resurrect the deal, which had previously been stopped, were started by Iran and the other parties with indirect coordination from the European Union and the United States.
Return to the Iranian nuclear agreement “is not likely in the immediate term,” according to the White House
