There is widespread recognition among other signatory states that the JCPOA will not properly function unless the US rejoins the deal. The meeting in Vienna follows the election of the conservative Ebrahim Raisi last summer in the Iranian Presidential election, which was followed by a pause in the talks which had been going on between Tehran and the other signatory states – Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China – which have stuck with the agreement signed after long and exhaustive efforts in 2015.

It was imperative, he wanted to stress, that “we must reach an agreement: we must do it”. He added that the agency was “close to the point when I will not be able to guarantee continuity of knowledge”. Rafael Grossi, the director general of the IAEA, said the lack of access was posing severe problems for verifying what was taking place and may endanger the survival of the JCPOA. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Wednesday that talks held in Tehran had failed in getting suspended access to the nuclear sites for UN Inspectors. The warning from Mr Bagheri Kani, who is also a deputy foreign minister, came at a time of rising uncertainty and alarm over Iran’s nuclear programme. Speaking to The Independent with the talks on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) due to resume in Vienna on Monday, Mr Bagheri Kani, also complained that the Biden administration was repeating some of the mistakes of its predecessor and continuing with the “failed policy” of “maximum pressure” on Tehran, which has caused “ political bewilderment”. The main objective of the negotiations in Vienna are that the Biden administration rejoins the landmark deal which former US president Donald Trump had unilaterally abandoned while imposing punitive sanctions on Iran.īut Ali Bagheri Kani stressed that any progress on that front must be preceded by the scrapping of all American sanctions, and a guarantee that a future administration in Washington will not once again renege on the agreement as Mr Trump had done. The first talks due to be held by Iran’s new government with international powers over the country’s nuclear programme will fail unless the US agrees to a key set of conditions, Tehran’s chief negotiator has warned.
