Iran Ready for 'Good Agreement' U.S. Will Honor, But in 'No Rush' for Bad Deal
By Tom O'Connor On 5/26/21 at 1:24 PM EDT
An Iranian official has told Newsweek that the country was prepared to enter into a nuclear agreement in which the United States lived up to the commitments it made during their initial deal six years ago.
But even as negotiations drag on into successive rounds, the Islamic Republic is not hurrying to settle for less.
"We want to arrive at a good agreement on the steps needed to be taken by the US to return to JCPOA," Shahrokh Nazemi, head of the media office at Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations, told Newsweek, using an acronym to refer to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal.
"In so doing, we are in no rush to agree on something that is imperfect," he said.
The comments came as the fifth round of indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. concluded Wednesday in the Austrian capital of Vienna, with fellow JCPOA signatories China, the European Union, France, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom serving as conduits.
The U.S. was a founding party to the 2015 agreement, but former President Donald Trump pulled out of it in 2018, instituting tough sanctions against Tehran and those doing business with it.
