Iran warns of US backtracking on nuclear deal

DDM News

Iran has raised concerns about the United States potentially backtracking on its previous agreement to accept Iran’s 3.67% uranium enrichment level.

This shift in stance is casting doubt on the future of ongoing nuclear negotiations, with Ali Akbar Farazi, Iran’s former ambassador to Cyprus, stating that the change could complicate the process.

Farazi made it clear that Iran cannot abandon its uranium enrichment activities.

According to the former ambassador, Iran’s nuclear rights are enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which recognizes the peaceful use of nuclear energy for civilian purposes.

He warned that any attempt to force a complete halt to Iran’s enrichment process would undermine the negotiation process, which has already faced numerous setbacks.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that the Iranian diplomat attributed the shift in U.S. policy to external pressures, particularly the influence of Israel.

Farazi claims that U.S. hardliners, under Israeli influence, are intentionally stalling the talks in an effort to derail any diplomatic resolution.

This accusation underscores Iran’s longstanding view that Israel, along with its Western allies, is actively working against the nuclear deal, seeking to prevent any agreement that would allow Iran to maintain a peaceful nuclear program.

In this context, Farazi suggested that the ongoing nuclear negotiations are complicated not only by technical disagreements over Iran’s enrichment levels but also by geopolitical dynamics.

He urged the negotiators to focus on resolving the core issues of the agreement rather than getting bogged down by peripheral concerns.

Efficiency in the talks, he argued, is essential to avoid prolonged deadlocks and ensure that the broader objectives of the nuclear deal are met.

Farazi further emphasized the importance of clearer communication between Iran and Europe on issues unrelated to the nuclear deal, specifically Iran’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

He stated that Iran must send stronger and clearer signals to European powers regarding its position on this matter, as any ambiguity could exacerbate diplomatic tensions.

By aligning its foreign policy, particularly in relation to Russia and Ukraine, with its nuclear diplomacy, Iran would reduce the chances of misunderstanding and improve its chances of reaching a viable nuclear agreement with the West.

In conclusion, the Iranian ambassador’s comments highlight a complex web of geopolitical tensions surrounding the nuclear negotiations.

With external influences from Israel and internal disagreements between the U.S. and Iran, the path forward remains uncertain.

However, Farazi’s call for focused negotiations and clearer messaging signals a potential way forward for resolving the issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
