The United States will maintain sanctions against Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the ideological army of the Islamic Republic, even if there is a nuclear deal, US envoy for Iran Robert Malley said on Sunday during a meeting. of the Doha Forum in Qatar.

They 'will remain sanctioned under US law and our perception (of them) will always be the same', the diplomat said, as Tehran demands that the US remove the Revolutionary Guards from its list of organizations terrorists.

In Doha, where political and economic leaders are meeting, Robert Malley warned that an agreement was neither "inevitable" nor "very close".

And I think that tells you everything you need to know about the difficulty of the questions” addressed.

Blinken in Jerusalem to reassure Israel

Also present in Doha, Kamal Kharazi, former Iranian foreign minister and now adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, argued that the Revolutionary Guards were "the national army and the national army cannot be placed on the list of terrorist organisations”.

Tehran has been engaged for several months in talks in Vienna with China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and Germany to save the 2015 agreement supposed to prevent Tehran from acquiring the atomic bomb, while at the same time paving the way for civilian nuclear power.

Israel, a historic ally of the United States, fears that this agreement will not prevent Iran from acquiring such a weapon, while loosening the grip on its economy.

The head of American diplomacy Anthony Blinken went to Jerusalem to reassure his Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid.

“We are each committed, determined, to ensure that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon,” chanted the Secretary of State during a press briefing.
