  • Washington Threatens to Pressure Iran if it Strengthens its Nuclear Program
    Malley: the United States and its partners are likely to put pressure on Iran.

The US special envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, said in an interview broadcast on Saturday that the United States and its partners are likely to put pressure on Iran if it uses the talks that are about to be resumed in Vienna on Monday as a "pretext to accelerate its nuclear program."

"If Iran thinks it can use this time to build more leverage and then come back and say they want something better it simply won't work. We and our partners won't go for it," Malley told BBC Sounds in an interview.

He also emphasized that he and the partners would do everything they could to prevent this from happening.

Malley pointed out that the possible purpose of increasing pressure on Iran is "to show it that it chose the wrong path when it had other options."

He explained that the road will not always be open to us for negotiations, because the Iranian nuclear program has endangered the essence of the nuclear agreement.

In another interview with the American radio, Malley criticized the Iranian regime's officials for insisting on holding indirect talks with the US in Vienna, saying that they will be in the hotel room waiting to hear reports from others that Iran agrees to talk to.

7th Round of Vienna Talks

On Saturday, the chief Iranian negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, arrived in Vienna to participate in the seventh round of the Vienna talks set to be held on Monday. 

Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had visited Tehran a few days ago before the IAEA Board of Governors convened to discuss the nuclear energy file in Iran, which the two sides expressed as "constructive".

It is noteworthy that the nuclear talks will take place indirectly, as the European Union delegate will communicate with the US envoy in charge of the Iranian file, Robert Malley, and the Iranian delegation that refuses to meet the US representative face to face.

"Israel" is anxiously awaiting the Vienna nuclear negotiations on the eve of their launch next Monday, and believes that " targeting Iranian nuclear sites will be necessary if the agreement is signed."
