Tehran resumed the production of advanced centrifuge parts at the facility in late August, with no international monitoring, as a part of its nuclear extortion that it started shortly after the U.S. pulled out of the JCPOA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Instead of keeping pressure on the regime, the US is working with the other signatories to reestablish the JCPOA and once again trade sanctions relief for defined restrictions on Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Those \u201crestrictions\u201d proved to be insufficient since the regime rapidly advanced its nuclear program.

Tuesday\u2019s meeting prompted representatives of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany to make a series of statements that once again called attention to Iran\u2019s apparent refusal to negotiate in good faith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The three nations, collectively known as the E3, issued a joint statement just ahead of Tuesday\u2019s meeting in which they noted that \u201cIran has walked back hard-fought compromises reached after many weeks of challenging negotiations, while at the same time presenting additional maximalist demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They were referring to the fact that the latest round of the Vienna talks was the seventh in a series, but the first to take place since Ebrahim Raisi became the regime\u2019s president and sparked a five-month delay in the negotiating process. When that process resumed at the end of November, it immediately became clear that Iran had only intensified its earlier demands for sanctions relief, without offering anything new in return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Quite to the contrary, regime officials explicitly stated that they now expect all sanctions to be removed before Tehran commits to any measures of its own, and that the sanctions in question must even include those that were imposed for reasons other than Iran\u2019s illicit nuclear activities. Iran\u2019s lead negotiator in Vienna, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/anews\/who-is-who\/who-is-ali-bagheri-kani-irans-deputy-foreign-minister\/\">Ali Bagheri Kani<\/a>, later followed up on these statements by asserting that Iran could revise its demands related to topics that had supposedly been resolved during the six previous sessions in the Austrian capital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">European officials decried Bagheri Kani\u2019s positions as \u201cinconsistent\u201d with existing agreements, while US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Iran was \u201closing precious time by advancing totally new positions.\u201d The underlying efforts to expand the agreement in Iran\u2019s favor are not only inconsistent with the prior Vienna talks but also inconsistent with Iran\u2019s own preexisting statements which rejected the prospect of altering the JCPOA as part of the resolution process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Blinken: US is preparing for &ldquo;alternative&rdquo; solutions if nuclear talks with Iran fail\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_LAheIcKUZ30\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLAheIcKUZ30%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LAheIcKUZ30\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-12-14T20:16:48Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_LAheIcKUZ30\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLAheIcKUZ30%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Blinken: US is preparing for \u201calternative\u201d solutions if nuclear talks with Iran fail<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LAheIcKUZ30\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLAheIcKUZ30%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Blinken: US is preparing for &ldquo;alternative&rdquo; solutions if nuclear talks with Iran fail\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"With talks to curb Iran\u2019s nuclear program nearing a deadlock, the US will take \u201calternative\u201d measures, its top diplomat said \u201cWe are actively engaging with allies and partners on alternatives,\u201d Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday Echoing remarks by European diplomats, Blinken said, \u201cTime is running out, that Iran is still not engaged in real negotiations\u201d Tehran has taken a maximalist stance in the talks, asking for lifting of all sanctions, including those not related to its nuclear program Tehran also committed to fewer limits to its nuclear activities Blinken &amp; other politicians previously warned Tehran might use the talks to buy time for its nuclear program *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel is not subject to copyright if the source is mentioned ***\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Let me be clear: Iran&#8217;s actions will not provide Iran with any leverage in negotiations and [will] only intensify our concerns,&#8221; Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield told the Security Council. Her German counterpart at the Security Council meeting, Ambassador Antje Leendertse, highlighted a similar growth in concern by reiterating the key points in the E3\u2019s joint statement and then calling attention to parallel issues such as the proliferation of Iranian ballistic missiles, some of which may be capable of carrying nuclear warheads. \u201cClearly,\u201d Leendertse said, \u201csuch activities are not conducive to fostering stability and security in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although the JCPOA signatories all remain publicly committed to salvaging the agreement, Tuesday\u2019s statements appear to reflect a situation in which all parties are planning for its possible collapse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">What is important to know is that Iran nuclear deal is already dead and has never been able to curb Tehran\u2019s nuclear program.
