Nuclear negotiations<\/a> between the Iranian regime and six world powers reportedly concluded on Monday in Vienna with the presentation of a \u201cfinal text\u201d detailing the prospective revival of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. International media differed, however, on the meaning of these reports, with outlets like CNN and the Associated Press intimating that the text prefaced a mutual agreement that would bring a definitive end to 16 months of on-and-off negotiations, while outlets like Bloomberg News explicitly stated that the negotiations had concluded with \u201cno deal\u201d.<\/p>\n It was not immediately clear how the \u201cfinal text\u201d differed, if at all, from a draft agreement that had been presented in the last week of July by Josep Borrell, the head of foreign policy for the European Union. In any event, Borrell\u2019s commentary on both drafts was virtually identical, emphasizing their exhaustion of opportunities for compromise as well as the need for the Iranian regime to make political decisions that will close the issue on the basis of existing proposals.<\/p>\n Tehran\u2019s response on Monday was also effectively the same as its response in July, with figures like the regime\u2019s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian<\/a> glossing over Borrell\u2019s uncharacteristic ultimatums in order to promote the idea that negotiations may still be ongoing for some time to come.<\/p>\n Borrell posted to Twitter: \u201cWhat can be negotiated has been negotiated, and it\u2019s now in a final text. However, behind every technical issue and every paragraph lies a political decision that needs to be taken in the capitals.\u201d<\/p>\n By seemingly placing the onus of such decisions on all of the participants, Borrell seemed to imply that there were still holdouts on the agreement among two or more of the negotiating teams. However, this does not appear to be the case in reality, since the purpose of the pending agreement is only to restore American and Iranian compliance with the terms of the JCPOA, and American officials have made it clear that they are prepared to accept a restoration agreement based on the EU\u2019s proposals<\/a>.<\/p>\n The US State Department said as much when negotiations resumed last week for the first time since a brief exchange of dialogue in Doha, instead of Vienna, at the end of June. It reiterated that statement after negotiations concluded on Monday, with a spokesperson saying, \u201cFor our part, our position is clear: we stand ready to quickly conclude a deal on the basis of the EU\u2019s proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n NCRI Editorial: — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) June 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
