Israeli media: West's options for nuclear talks running out
According to Israeli media, the US realizes that trying to resume sanctions against Iran by going to the United Nations Security Council is a futile step.
According to Haaretz on Thursday, the US realizes that resuming sanctions against Iran by going to the UN Security Council is a futile step.
According to the publication, if the table of negotiations is vacated, there will be a breakdown of communications.
On Wednesday, Iran's delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohammad Reza Ghaebi, strongly condemned the decision made by the agency's Board of Governors to adopt the resolution drafted by the US and the E3 that demands more "transparency and cooperation" from Iran.
The IAEA adopted the US-E3-sponsored resolution, criticizing Iran for "not cooperating".
Iran's delegation said that it will pursue the appropriate measures in response, noting that Iran has the right to reconsider its policy and behavior toward the agency, stressing that this resolution adopted by the IAEA is a heavy blow to the agency's credibility.
Iran submitted a new JCPOA proposal
Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said on Wednesday that Tehran two days ago submitted a new proposal to the US to revive the JCPOA.
"We presented an innovative new political package two days ago and explicitly told the other side [the United States] that they could choose one of two proposals [the one discussed in Vienna or the new one]. We prefer the diplomatic and political path," Amir-Abdollahian was quoted as saying by the Iranian news agency ISNA.
The top diplomat did not specify the contents of the new proposal.
