The US Can't Await Iran To Return to JCPOA Negotiation Table

Robert Malley, the U.S. envoy for the negotiations, says the Biden administration "can't wait forever" to decide whether or not Iran would restart nuclear talks.

Robert Malley, the United States Special Envoy to Iran, said that the Biden administration cannot "wait forever" for Tehran to be brought back to the negotiating table. 

As Iran continues to advance nuclear weapons, the US cannot wait forever, as its progress at some point is to make it far less valuable for the US to return to JCPOA, Malley said, although he added that the United States was "prepared to be patient."

Malley, whom Biden relies on in restoring the United States' commitment to the nuclear agreement between Iran and major powers, said last August that the "unknown variables" in the agreement depended on the behavior of the Iranians. However, he said: “We are prepared to resume the talks, which we wouldn’t do if we didn’t think [a deal] was possible.”

He revealed at the time that the United States has alternative options if the 2015 agreement is not revived, including signing a new agreement completely separate from the JCPOA that expires by 2030.

The other option for the US is to cooperate with the EU to impose sanctions on Tehran.
