While Iran eyes size Evaluating the Doha negotiations as positive, this American official, who asked to remain anonymous, claimed in a conversation with Reuters: Eye size The post-Doha agreement is worse than the pre-Doha agreement and it is getting worse day by day.
“You can describe Doha as moving water at best and moving backwards at worst,” he claimed. “But at this point the water movement is, for all practical purposes, backward movement.”
The claims of this American official were made while he did not mention the details of the Doha negotiations.
The American official has also claimed that at this stage, he does not know what the Iranians want. He further added: They did not come to Doha with many details. Most of the demands they raised, they either knew – or should have known – were outside the scope of the JCPOA and therefore not negotiable for us and the Europeans at this stage, or were issues that were fully discussed and resolved in Vienna. It was season.
The senior US official said that Washington has made it clear since the start of negotiations in April 2021 that it cannot give Iran legal guarantees that the next US administration will adhere to the agreement. He added: “We said that there is no legal way that we can commit the future government, and therefore we were looking for other ways to bring peace to Iran together with the other 5+1 countries (countries) and the European Union coordinator.” This senior American official added: I thought that case was closed.
The senior U.S. official rejected Tehran’s argument that Washington was to blame for the lack of progress, saying the U.S. had responded favorably to changes proposed by the European Union to the text of a draft agreement reached during broader talks in March. While Iran has not responded to these changes.
The claims of this American official have been raised while Iran emphasizes the necessity of lifting sanctions in order to implement the nuclear agreement. In this connection, “Mohammed Marandi” said in a conversation with Al-Mayadin news channel about the Doha negotiations: “It was not expected that the negotiations would lead to a positive solution in just two days.”
He stated that Tehran does not take the media statements of American officials seriously and added: Americans should provide the guarantees requested by Iran to show that they will not stab us in the back like in the past.
Marandi also emphasized the need to lift sanctions in order to re-implement the JCPOA, adding that Europeans are paying more attention to Iran today because they need its oil because of the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the advisor of the Iranian negotiating team emphasized that the Doha negotiations have not failed and will continue.
