Negotiations aimed at restoring the 2015 Iran nuclear deal<\/a> will resume in Vienna today, but they are expected to resume under a cloud of pessimism regarding the prospects for their success.<\/p>\n

Tehran is doing its best to deny this fact, and the lead Iranian negotiator has made a number of statements intimating that Western parties to those talks are on the verge of giving in to the regime\u2019s demands for immediate, unconditional, and comprehensive relief from the US sanctions. However, the US has shown no sign of willingness to provide such relief and has in fact warned about other options that are on the table if Iran\u2019s ongoing delays lead to the failure of diplomacy.<\/p>\n

The French Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, signaled that it views that outcome as increasingly likely. In media interviews, officials stated that they are worried Iran is \u201cplaying for time\u201d and that the regime\u2019s position in the negotiations is likely to grow even more untenable the longer the negotiations carry on.<\/p>\n
