The long-delayed seventh round of talks aimed at restoring the 2015 Iran nuclear deal began and ended in Vienna last week. Little progress was reported, and in fact, the process moved in reverse after the Iranian regime\u2019s main representative to the talks, Ali Bagheri Kani,<\/a> declared that Tehran was free to revisit all of the terms that were tentatively agreed upon before the negotiations became stalled in June.<\/p>\n That delay was prompted by Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u2019s appointment as the regime\u2019s new president, a development that was widely expected to lead even more aggressive policies and practices from the clerical regime. Tehran returned to the Vienna talks<\/a> only after the Raisi administration spent months deflecting the issue and stating vaguely that those talks would resume soon. The patience of Western negotiating partners noticeably wore thin during that time, and after meeting in Washington, representatives from Britain, France, and Germany expressed consensus on the need to adopt an alternative approach if the Iranian regime continued its delays.<\/p>\n On one hand, this helps to explain Tehran\u2019s eventual move to accept specific plans for the seventh round. But on the other hand, it raises serious questions about how meaningful that supposed change in strategy was. Tehran is only moving the process far enough forward to continue delaying its eventual outcome<\/a>, which is most likely to be the final collapse of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the Iranian Resistance has repeatedly underlined,\u201d said NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mohammad Mohaddessin in this regarding adding, \u201cthe mullahs\u2019 regime is trying to buy time to complete its nuclear weapons program through deception.\u201d<\/p>\n Vienna talks failing shows again that #Iran<\/a>\u2019s regime, using appeasement, plunged talks into cycle of deceit to buy time & make the bomb. Khamenei\u2019s fate is tied to his nuclear program, another reason why Raisi was selected president. This cycle must be ended with a firm approach<\/p>\n — Mohammad Mohaddessin (@Mohaddessin) December 4, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
