UN Secretary-General António Guterres urges the United States to lift or waive its sanctions against Iran’s oil sector to resume the US-abandoned Iran nuclear deal.

It is amazing how little discussion there is in Western capitals about how catastrophic the European Union has been since its inception. From the JCPOA to Ukraine war to the genocide in Gaza, it’s ‘peace project’ has been a complete farce.

Iran’s foreign minister says “excessive demands” by the US and the three European parties to the nuclear deal have stalled talks to revive the deal and remove sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The unblocking of Iran’s frozen assets in South Korea and the release of Iranian prisoners in the US is an “achievement for Iranian diplomacy,” says an analyst.

Over the past two years, Iran has tried to revive an already left-off conversation with the West over bilateral misunderstandings particularly with the US over a host of issues.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Iran is serious about returning to JCPOA if the other parties to the US-abandoned deal are also ready to do so.

The Iranian foreign minister says the US administration's seriousness can lead to the JCPAO revival.
