VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 15 – Concern about the reports of theUN agency on nuclear onIran was expressed by the ambassador Alessandro Corteserepresentative of Italy at the UN of Vienna. At the IAEA council in Vienna, Cortese expressed “Italy’s concern over what the Agency reported on nuclear activities of Iran not in line with the commitments of the Iranian nuclear deal (JCPoA)as well as on pending questions relating to safeguards “.

The same Joseph Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Politics safetyexplained that his notice “i nuclear shops are at a point died… From this holding the positions involved are divergent and will soon reach an agreement before the Midterm elections in the United States ”.
“No short-term breakthroughs can be expected,” Borrell said on the sidelines of the plenary session European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Since April 2021, Iran has engaged in talks mediated by theEuropean Union to revive the JCPOA, signed in 2015 with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, Russia and the United States to limit the nuclear program in exchange for withdrawal of sanctions international. This estate United States, European Union and Tehran announced that the negotiators are meeting in Vienna for a final attempt to restart talks on the nuclear program.
In August, after 16 months of negotiations, the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy presented a “definitive” text. A compromise that would have allowed Iran to once again comply with its obligations and the United States to return to the agreement, from which they withdrew in 2018 after the decision of the then President Donald Trump who then restored the sanctions against Tehran. The agreement, through four phases developed in 165 days, led Iran to stop uranium enrichmentthat has passed the 60% threshold while the JCPOA provides a limit of 3.67%, and the United States to remove the sanctions against the country. This allowed Tehran to return to international markets. But so far it seems to be stuck.
