A senior Biden administration official reportedly thinks resuscitating the tattered nuclear agreement with Iran would be “highly unlikely” in the near future.
Wednesday by the Axios news site, White House National Security Council Middle East coordinator Brett McGurk believes Iran wants the U.S. “to add something to the pot” to help advocates of the deal the Islamic Republic’s internal debate with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but “we are not going to do that.”But he argued the deal carries very significant benefits.
U..S President Joe Biden , Secretary of State Antony Blinken , and Brett McGurk, U.S. National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Kadhemi , Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein , and other officials during a bilateral meeting at a hotel in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastal city of Jeddah on July 16, 2022.
Talks in Vienna to revive the deal have been at an impasse for months. The Biden administration blames the Trump‘s decision to withdraw from the deal in 2018 for the current crisis, claiming the accord had been “working” even thoughAmid pressure from Israel, the U.S. last month said it would not concede to Iran’s demand to remove the IRGC from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effectively torpedoing the negotiations.
McGurk said the Biden administration will continue to employ sanctions and diplomatic isolation against Iran, “but not needlessly escalate the situation.” It would only use military action as a last resort, he said. Iran is claiming that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden offered to remove 1,040 sanctions that were imposed during the administration of President Donald Trump, as Biden tries to entice Iran to resume the 2015 nuclear deal.
