On Wednesday, France said the decision to rescind Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers was only a few days away and now it was time for Tehran to hold political elections while Tehran called on Western nations to “face reality.”
Negative talks between Iran and the United States over the renewal of the broken agreement began last week after a 10-day suspension with officials from other parties to the agreement – Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia – closed between the two sides as they continue. seek to fill in the gaps.
Western politicians have previously expressed hope that they will succeed, but serious problems have not been resolved. Iran has rejected any Western-imposed deadline.
“It simply came to our notice then. It is not a matter of the churches; it is a matter of days, ”French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told parliament, adding that the Western powers, Russia and China agree on terms of the treaty.
“Political decisions are needed for the Iranian people. They are creating a major crisis in the coming days, or they are accepting an agreement that respects the interests of all concerned.”
Iran’s nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani has responded to a tweet, calling on Western powers “to face reality, avoid inconsistencies and listen to lessons from the past 4 years. Time for their important decisions.” Learn more
“After weeks of in-depth discussions, we came very close to the agreement; nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon, ”he said on Twitter.
Several other sources following the talks said in the next few days they would be important in deciding whether to renew the agreement.
The agreement began to fade in 2018 when former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States and reinstated broad-based economic sanctions on Iran, prompting Tehran to violate the terms of its uranium enrichment treaty the following year.
Politicians and analysts say that the longer Iran stays outside the treaty, the more it will acquire more nuclear weapons technology, reducing the time it would need to run to build a bomb if it chooses to do so, thus undermining the original purpose of the agreement. Tehran denies ever wanting to build nuclear weapons.
Western strategists say they are now in the final stages of negotiations and believe an agreement can be reached.
‘A MOMENT OF TRUTH’
“We are coming to the real time. If we want Iran to honor its (nuclear) non-proliferation obligations and for the United States to lift sanctions, something must happen, “Le Drian said.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday it was “in a hurry” to enter into a new agreement as long as the country’s interests are still safe and that renewing the treaty would require “Western political decisions”. Learn more
Ali Shamkhani, a strong secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, stressed Iran’s warning that on Wednesday the 2015 agreement no longer had an economic impact on Iran and blamed the United States and European powers.
“The United States and Europe have failed to meet their obligations under (agreement). The agreement has now become Iran’s empty shell in the economic and disciplinary sector. “There will be no negotiations other than a nuclear deal with a lawless United States and a idle Europe,” he said on Twitter.
China’s envoy to the talks said on Wednesday that Iran was building by putting everything on the table in response to US measures. “They not only took this straightforward approach but also made a political decision based on giving and taking,” Wang Qun told Reuters.
The skeleton of the conflict remains Iran’s need for a US guarantee that there will be no further sanctions or sanctions in the future, and how and when to restore the guaranteed limits on Tehran’s nuclear activity.
The treaty curtailed Iran’s uranium enrichment to make it more difficult for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons, thus lifting international sanctions.
The Islamic Republic has since rebuilt a vast quantity of uranium, refined it to be very clean, close to the arms range, and installed advanced centrifuges to accelerate fertilization. Tehran has long denied that he wants a nuclear bomb.
