NOURNEWS - Ali Bagheri, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, November 3: "In a telephone conversation with Mr. Enrique Mora, the start of negotiations aimed at lifting illegal and inhumane sanctions was agreed in Vienna on November 29."
The announcement was immediately met with a positive response from the majority of countries negotiating with Iran on the nuclear issue.
But while Western officials, especially the United States, had repeatedly criticized Iran's delay in returning to talks before announcing the start of talks, a day after Iran announced its readiness to begin talks, France on Thursday. Announcing a highly threatening stance on November 4, he announced that he was consulting with his allies on how to respond to Iran's "non-cooperation" with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Anne-Claire Legendre told a news conference on Thursday that the country could still take action against Iran at a forthcoming meeting of the Board of Governors with its partners.
As the next meeting of the Board of Governors is scheduled for mid-November (before the start of a new round of nuclear talks), a statement by a French Foreign Ministry spokesman indicates that the country is on the verge of resuming a new round of nuclear talks. He is wearing bad police uniforms and intends to use pressure from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on behalf of Western negotiators.
France is trying to put pressure on Iran, while the Islamic Republic, showing goodwill, on September 13 this year agreed to service the IAEA cameras at the nuclear facility, and only in view of the sabotage attack on the Karaj facility and the continuation of criminal investigations, excluded the center from the camera service.
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in his latest reaction to Iran's opposition to the Karaj Integrated Camera Service on November 2: "Trying to monitor Iran's nuclear program is like flying in dense clouds, and this situation cannot continue for long."
He called on world powers to condemn Iran's actions at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors, and that the French threat posed by Iran should be assessed in the context of Grossi's request.
Since Rafael Grossi took over as Director-General of the IAEA, thanks to the support of the United States, the international body has moved beyond its legal and technical responsibilities to Iran and has adopted a political approach to effectively leverage Western, especially US, pressure on Iran.
The reopening of cases previously closed by the signing of JCPOA, and the conduct of scathing interviews and constructive political stances by Grossi, which have nothing to do with the IAEA's legal duties, have effectively made the IAEA part of the difficulty in continuing the nuclear negotiations.
The work of the IAEA and France, which has always played the role of a bad cop in the nuclear negotiations, is also a continuation of the Western scenario of using the IAEA tool to shape the political pressure at the beginning of a new round of negotiations.
Although the repetitive arrangement of chess pieces by the Western parties on the eve of the start of a new round of negotiations for the Islamic Republic of Iran was predictable, France's early mobilization in the traditional position of a bad policeman showed a clear goodwill that the West The beginning of the negotiations was blowing because the past was part of a repetitive political game to advance the "political pressure-concession" scenario and there is no honesty in it.
Negotiation in an atmosphere of political threat and pressure practically contradicts the principle of dialogue to reach an agreement, and the result is nothing but more complicated conditions.
If the West still insists on adopting previous methods of unilateral concessions, it must take into account the fact that the conditions for Iran's entry into the negotiations have changed completely.
From November 29, Western negotiators must either prepare for a fair, frank, and outcome-oriented negotiation, or take responsibility for not changing the status quo from now on.
