Iran blames the US for stalled nuclear deal talks
Iran said on Monday that Tehran is ready to reach a “good deal” with world powers, Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said at a televised press conference, blaming the United States for blocking talks to relaunch their 2015 nuclear deal.
“Even today we are ready to return to Vienna to reach a good agreement if Washington respects its commitments,” said Khatibzadeh.
The nuclear deal looked close to a recovery in March, but talks were thrown into turmoil in part over whether the United States could remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which controls the elite military and intelligence forces. that Washington accuses of a global terrorist campaign, from its Foreign List of Terrorist Organizations (FTO).
In 2018, then US President Donald Trump reneged on the deal, under which Iran curbed its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions, prompting Iran to start violating its limits. nuclear power plants about a year later.
Last week, the US said it awaits a constructive response from Iran on restoring the deal with no “extraneous” problems, a possible reference to Iran’s request that its Guards be removed from the US terrorist list.
