Indirect talks between Iran and the United States to rebuild the nuclear agreement have resumed for the first time in three months.
The two countries disagree over the scope of sanctions to be lifted by the United States, and the focus is on how far they can compromise.
The United States and Iran resumed indirect talks through the EU-European Union on the 28th to rebuild the nuclear agreement, and according to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister Bageri and EU Secretary-General Mora met in Qatar in the Middle East. ..
Indirect talks have been held intermittently since April last year, and it was pointed out that it was the final stage toward a conclusion at one point, but it was also affected by the fact that Russia, which is also a party to the nuclear agreement, started a military invasion of Ukraine. It has been suspended since March.
This time, the EU, the intermediary, has worked with the United States and Iran to resume talks for the first time in three months, but the two countries have disagreements over the scope of sanctions to be lifted by the United States and are seeking concessions from each other.
"I don't know if both countries will be able to overcome the difficulties," said Borrell, the EU's foreign minister, and the focus is on how far we can compromise.
The Iran nuclear agreement is for the international community to lift sanctions in return for Iran's restrictions on nuclear development, but in 2018 Iran's former Trump administration unilaterally withdrew and resumed sanctions. The side is accelerating nuclear development as a countermeasure, and the agreement is dysfunctional.
