The United States raises concerns about Iran’s commitment to return to an international nuclear deal that would lift international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear activities and international inspections.
In Vienna there are talks between the signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA), the 2015 agreement negotiated with former President Obama. Old President Trump

Although Iran participates in indirect talks with JCPOA participants – European, Chinese and Russian partners – it has rejected offers of direct communication with the US
This has caused talks to be “slower” and “more complicated,” a senior U.S. official said Friday in a briefing with reporters and reported that Iran’s gravity was at stake.
“There is still a question as to whether the gravity of the purpose and the intention to re-fulfill what the United States proved will be co-responsible for Iran,” the official said.
“We have seen some signs of this, but it is certainly not enough, and there are still questions about whether Iran has the will to do what will be needed,” to return to compliance with the agreement.
President Biden
Joe Biden, Anne Frank’s half-sister: Trump “obviously admired Hitler,” the Biden-GOP infrastructure talks about starting a rupture. We must stop slowing down China’s climate MORE has said it is committed to rejoining the JCPOA.
The U.S. negotiating team in Vienna is led by a special envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, and talks began Tuesday.
The US is proposing that Iran, which has breached the terms of the nuclear-related agreement and limits international inspections, take its own steps to re-enforce the agreement.
The talks in Vienna aim to find a solution to “mutual compliance”. Still, Iranian officials insist the U.S. is taking the first step in verifying that sanctions are lifted.
The senior State Department official described this Tehran lawsuit as meaning the withdrawal of verified sanctions in practice and set it out as an example of the difficulty of indirect talks.
“We think it would be better if we could sit down with the Iranians,” the official said. “We will not pay a price for this and therefore if they do not want to meet with us, it is a pity … it will simply be much more difficult for them to get what they say they want, which is a mutual return to fulfillment.”
The official described the talks as a “first step in the first phase” of a possible return to the JCPOA. Talks in Vienna are expected to resume next week.
The European Union, which presides over talks between JCPOA signatories, said in a statement on Friday that all participants underlined their commitment to preserving the nuclear deal and “discussed ways to ensure a return to its implementation. full and effective “.
An earlier statement noted that the discussions were “constructive and results-oriented exchanges.”
