Reaching an agreement in Vienna Talks depends on Washington's political decision
Political decision-making is about a party that ignores an international legal agreement backed by a UN Security Council resolution (JCPOA) with a political decision and withdraws from it to shape current problems.
NOURNEWS - It was announced yesterday that the negotiating parties had agreed that the delegations would return to the capitals for further consultations on Friday, after the end of the current talks in the eighth round of talks, and that the talks would resume in Vienna after a break of several days.
The eighth round of talks between Iran and the P4 + 1 in Vienna has been the longest and most intensive round of talks to lift illegal and oppressive sanctions.
It is noteworthy that; During the day and today, all the countries present at the talks, the representative of the European Union, as well as the United States, which is not present in the direct talks, pointed to the availability of agreement with relatively similar literature, which is a sign of diminishing differences and rapprochement. .
Meanwhile, the United States and European countries, using the keyword "negotiations are approaching the final stages", tried to somehow turn their minds to the self-made deadline of the western side of the negotiations, which naturally coincides with Iran's approach to "the need to use time It is contrary to the quality of the negotiations.
Although the Iranian delegation has made every effort to speed up the talks, for Iran, the quality of the agreement is more important than the time of reaching an agreement, and it will not be willing to ignore its basic principles and demands for a few days and weeks.
Another issue that almost all delegations stressed the need for is that the negotiations reach the stage of "political decision".
Since the beginning of the new round of talks, Iran has stressed the need to address a number of key issues, including lifting sanctions, safeguarding Iran's nuclear rights and achievements, providing US guarantees that the Trump administration will not repeat the status quo, and establishing a verification mechanism. JCPOA's legal framework emphasizes the realization of each of the above.
If the United States and European countries had adhered to the basis presented by Iran, which was negotiated years ago and led to the formation of Barjam, and would have abandoned the extravagant plan, the negotiations would have ended very quickly and the complexities that are going on today, did not take shape.
Although the fact that the negotiations have reached the stage of a political decision is perfectly acceptable, the political decision is a matter for a party that ignores an international legal agreement backed by a UN Security Council resolution (JCPOA) with a political decision and leaves it creating current problems. .
It is very clear that if the United States wants to stay in line with Trump's political decision to leave the JCPOA and take advantage of the "maximum pressure" strategy against Iran, and use extra-negotiation levers while maintaining the structure of sanctions, to restrict peaceful nuclear activities of Iran, there will be no agreement.
The coming days can be considered the days of the Biden government's test to prove the election slogans about returning to JCPOA.
The Biden administration's political decision to accept responsibility for the previous administration's mistakes, along with a guarantee that it will not be repeated, along with fulfilling Washington's commitments with the possibility of verification, could open a new path in the Vienna talks. Its availability is not unexpected.
