The Statement of the U.S. and Three European Countries at the Board of Governors and a Return to Normalcy
The United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have prepared a resolution for the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in which they have called on the Iranian regime to fully cooperate with the agency and to respond to questions regarding findings at three specific nuclear sites in Iran. This development symbolizes a return to normalcy in the West’s interactions with Iran in nuclear negotiations.
Iran has already agreed to conduct fresh talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency following the upcoming Board of Governors meeting. This should be easily understood as the Iranian regime’s recognition of the reality that such interactions, like negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency, are among the few opportunities and international breathing spaces for the Iranian regime in the current global diplomatic equations.
Russia, and specifically Ulyanov, are angry about the resolution and the statements of the U.S. and its allies, and the reason for this anger is simple. The Russians desire further isolation of Iran and its attachment to themselves, and they see any opportunity or space for Iran’s interaction with the West as a threat to their dominance and exploitation.
