The EU-European Union, the intermediary, has announced that it will suspend indirect talks between the United States and Iran to rebuild the Iran nuclear agreement.
The final round of talks has become uncertain due to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
With the aim of rebuilding the nuclear agreement, the United States and Iran have been conducting indirect talks through the EU and Russia, a country related to the agreement, over Iran's restrictions on nuclear development and how to proceed with the lifting of sanctions by the United States.
Under these circumstances, EU High Representative Borrell, who is the Foreign Minister, announced on Twitter that the talks will be suspended once, saying that "temporary suspension is necessary due to external factors".
It does not specifically mention what the "external factors" are.
However, as the United States and other countries strengthen sanctions against Russia following the military invasion of Ukraine, Russia guarantees trade with Iran after the nuclear agreement is re-established, regardless of the sanctions related to the military invasion. I suddenly requested that it should be done this month.
On the other hand, Western countries criticized that "conditions unrelated to the nuclear talks should not be added", and the talks that had reached the final stage became uncertain due to the influence of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. I am.
