Blinken and Concerns Over the JCPOA
The U.S. Secretary of State, in his joint press conference with the NATO Secretary General in Brussels, expressed satisfaction with significant achievements in the JCPOA negotiations but voiced dissatisfaction with Iran’s recent response, calling it a step backward. He announced that Iran’s demands beyond the JCPOA would not be accepted. Emphasizing achievements in the negotiations and striving for an agreement is a common rhetoric among American officials, which was also evident in Blinken’s remarks.
