Iran's demands for nuclear deal unacceptable, UK, France and Germany

Berlin/Washington – The European countries have recorded a reaction ‘Valuable time is being wasted in the Vienna talks given the new demands made by Iran for joining the nuclear deal. Therefore, the time for the nuclear deal is coming to an end.’ The United States also has criticised this new Iranian stand. US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has clarified that although talks are being held with Iran for the nuclear deal, the United States is exploring other possibilities along with its allies.

Three weeks have passed since fresh talks started regarding the nuclear deal in Vienna. European countries, including the United States, are working to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. But before joining the nuclear deal, Iran made its demands known to the United States and the West. Iran has said it is ready to join the nuclear deal if these demands are fulfilled. European countries and the United States have expressed anger over Iran’s role in the talks, which have reached their sixth round.

Representatives of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, who attended the talks, openly criticised Iran’s time-consuming stand. European countries have called on Iran, which has demanded a nuclear deal, to make a realistic proposal, saying that earlier Iranian demands are unacceptable. All three European nations have criticised Iran for not changing its stand, despite pressure from the participating countries. European countries have expressed concern that real talks have not yet begun.

The United States has lashed out at the Iranian stand in the Vienna talks. The United States is still working to resolve the issue of Iran’s nuclear program through political negotiations because political negotiation is the best option. However, the United States and its partners and allies are also exploring other options.’ said Secretary of State Antony Blinken. For the past few weeks, the Biden administration has been evaluating other options for Iran. But the Biden administration has already made it clear that this does not include a military option. Therefore, according to some media, the Biden administration may consider imposing economic sanctions on Iran.

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will visit Israel by the end of next month. Israeli media have claimed that the visit will be centred around the Iran issue. Sullivan will meet Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defence Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid. Last week, Israeli Defence Minister Gantz visited the United States and informed the Biden administration that a date had been set to attack Iran’s nuclear program. The Israeli media reported this news. Sullivan’s visit to Israel is considered against this background.

Meanwhile, along with Israel, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies, and now European countries, also seem to be losing patience with Iran.

US ready to lift sanctions on Iran: US Ambassador to the United Nations

New York: – ‘Biden administration is fully prepared to lift sanctions that are inconsistent with US commitments under the 2015 Nuclear Treaty. This will give Iran the economic benefits of the nuclear deal.’ said Linda Thomas, the US ambassador to the United Nations.

Thomas lashed out that although the United States has been lenient with its nuclear deal, it does not mean that Iran is allowed to accelerate its nuclear program. Thomas also appealed to Iran to expedite talks on the nuclear deal in Vienna. Israel has accused Iran of purposely delaying the negotiations in Vienna and accelerating its nuclear program. The Biden administration is still adamant about negotiating with Iran.
