And so everything the Rouhani government&#8217;s negotiating team was suffering from will be repeated for the Raisi government&#8217;s negotiating team. Meanwhile, by the current negotiating team standards and ideas, the IRGC plays a key, pivotal and decisive role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The newspaper added: &#8220;In the eyes of extremist senators such as Ted Cruz, the IRGC is America&#8217;s most dangerous enemy and has always sought to overthrow Washington and its allies in the form of destabilizing behavior. Of course, the US Congress dispute is not limited to the issue of removing the IRGC from the list of terrorist groups. They have some ultra-destructive programs or the &#8216;JCPOA Plus&#8217; in mind. They view Iran&#8217;s &#8216;malignant infiltration&#8217;, our accurate missile programs, and a destabilization scenario in the geopolitical geometry of West Asia, as a source to disrupt Iran and the JCPOA. Thus, one can argue that the unresolved issues are not only limited to IRGC sanctions, rather there are other remaining issues that the United States stubbornly refuses to resolve. This situation means that there is no hope for the revival of the JCPOA. Currently, the JCPOA has fallen into a coma with inflexible strategies that no breathing and impulse can bring back to life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">In Stockholm and Across the Globe, Iranian Resistance Supporters Stand Firm<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"protests-hamid-nouri-trial-stockholm-3\" class=\"size-full wp-image-258615 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/protests-hamid-nouri-trial-stockholm-3.jpg\" alt=\"protests-hamid-nouri-trial-stockholm-3\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/protests-hamid-nouri-trial-stockholm-3.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/protests-hamid-nouri-trial-stockholm-3-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The trial of former Iranian official\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/the-trial-of-hamid-nouri-is-giving-the-world-a-window-into-the-1988-massacre\/\">Hamid Noury<\/a>\u00a0in Stockholm came to an end on May 4.
