Joe Biden wants to return to the deal
Last Friday, France, Germany and Great Britain warned Iran that it was "compromising" any return to negotiations to save the 2015 agreement framing its nuclear program with its repeated violations of this text, recently. still on the production of uranium metal.
The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected in Tehran on Saturday, a few days before the entry into force of the suspension of certain inspections by the Islamic Republic.
Since former US President Donald Trump's withdrawal from Washington from the 2015 deal, Iran has withdrawn from most of its key commitments.
