US to Rejoin JCPOA for Further Talks If Iran Resumes Compliance With Nuclear Deal, Biden Says - Sputnik International

If Iran Resumes Compliance

Joe Biden, the projected US president-elect, confirmed to the New York Times his intention to return the United States to the Iran nuclear deal during his tenure and hold follow-up negotiations if Tehran returns to strict compliance with the agreement.

"It's going to be hard, but yeah," Biden told the newspaper when asked whether he stood by his views on the Iran nuclear deal.

According to Biden, if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb, it will put enormous pressure on Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and other states to get nuclear weapons themselves.

    "And the last goddamn thing we need in that part of the world is a buildup of nuclear capability ... in consultation with our allies and partners, we’re going to engage in negotiations and follow-on agreements to tighten and lengthen Iran’s nuclear constraints, as well as address the missile program," the politician said.

During his presidential campaign, Biden said he would rejoin the deal — abandoned by President Donald Trump's administration — "as a starting point for follow-on negotiations" if Tehran gave up the nuclear stockpile it has amassed in violation of the agreement and return to full compliance.

Iran, on the other hand, said the US must first return to its international commitments before further discussions. Biden also expressed a readiness to lift the sanctions that Trump imposed on Iran.

  1. Le président élu américain Joe Biden a affirmé au New York Times vouloir engager rapidement de nouvelles négociations avec l’Iran, "en consultation" avec les alliés de Washington, mais uniquement après le retour des Etats-Unis dans l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien que Donald Trump a quitté.

  2. Revenir dans l’accord signifierait une levée des sanctions draconiennes imposées par Donald Trump depuis qu’il en a claqué la porte en 2018. En réponse à ces sanctions, l’Iran est progressivement revenu sur ses engagements nucléaires.

    Seulement après un retour de Washington et Téhéran dans les clous de l’accord, "en consultation avec nos alliés et partenaires, nous engagerons des négociations et des accords de suivi pour durcir et prolonger les restrictions nucléaires imposées à l’Iran, et pour aborder le programme de missiles" iranien, a expliqué Joe Biden.

    Selon le journal américain, la nouvelle administration va, lors de ces négociations, chercher à étendre la durée des restrictions sur la production iranienne de matériaux fissiles pouvant être utilisés pour produire une bombe nucléaire, ainsi qu’aborder la question des activités de Téhéran et de ses groupes alliés au Liban, en Irak, en Syrie et au Yémen.
