Hossein Amir-Abdollahian: If nuclear talks fail, we have an alternative plan
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s Foreign Minister who traveled to Baghdad, said that in the event of the failure of nuclear negotiations, we are ready with an alternative plan.
The Iranian Foreign Minister did not provide details about the country’s potential plan but stated that his country has taken constructive actions in the negotiations and is now ready to move forward with concluding the negotiations while respecting the Islamic Republic’s red lines.
The talks to revive the JCPOA, which began in April 2021, have been stalled since this summer, and Western countries say there is currently no prospect for resuming them or achieving success.
The aim of the JCPOA revival talks was to increase oversight of Iran’s nuclear program and reimpose restrictions on it in exchange for the lifting of U.S. sanctions.
Iran says it has not left the negotiating table, but the United States has announced that the Islamic Republic of Iran has not shown any practical actions indicating interest in reviving the JCPOA agreement.
