Over talks to rebuild the Iran nuclear deal, senior U.S. State Department officials said the talks failed as long as Iran demanded that all sanctions be lifted, saying that the sanctions it is currently imposing include legitimate ones. I showed the view that it ends in.
Regarding the Iran nuclear deal, the former Trump administration has withdrawn from the deal and resumed sanctions, while Iran has stepped up its nuclear program and the deal is dysfunctional.
As the Biden administration aims to return to the nuclear agreement, delegations from the United States and Iran will hold indirect talks from this week through the EU = European Union and other countries to lift sanctions and limit nuclear development. We are aiming to create a concrete process chart to proceed.
Regarding the talks, a senior US State Department official said in a telephone interview on the 9th that "productive discussions took place," and after giving a certain evaluation, partial sanctions will be lifted if Iran adheres to the nuclear agreement. He acknowledged that he was ready to respond.
Meanwhile, senior officials emphasized that some of the sanctions imposed on Iran are legitimate under the nuclear agreement.
He said, "If Iran sticks to the lifting of all sanctions, the talks will be stalled." He said that as long as Iran called for the lifting of all sanctions, the talks would fail and asked for a compromise.
The countries concerned, including the United States and Iran, will hold another vice ministerial meeting in Vienna next week, with a focus on whether they can find a compromise in future talks.
