Liz Truss: Iran nuclear negotiations approaching dangerous deadlock
Liz Truss, Britain’s Foreign Secretary, says negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement between Western powers and Iran are approaching a dangerous deadlock.
Ms. Truss told her country’s parliament on Tuesday, January 25, that “this is an urgent negotiation and progress has not been fast enough.”
She added that “we will continue our close cooperation with our allies, but the negotiations are approaching a dangerous deadlock.”
She warned: “Iran must now choose whether it wants to reach an agreement or be responsible for the collapse of the JCPOA; and if the JCPOA collapses, all options are on the table.”
Liz Truss’s warning to Iran comes after recent reports from Vienna indicate progress in the negotiations, although the West, and particularly the United States, has expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of negotiations and emphasized that there is not much time left to revive the JCPOA.
Furthermore, amid all this, discussions about the freedom of four imprisoned American citizens in Iran have also been in the news.
Both the United States and Iran have also spoken of the possibility of direct talks during the Vienna negotiations.
