White House To Rejoin the Foreign Policy Discussions Surrounding Iranian Nuclear Deal in Vienna, Transatlantic Today
VIENNA, AUSTRIA - APRIL 27: In this handout image provide by EU Delegation Vienna, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi (R) speaks with other participants at the JCPOA Iran nuclear talks on April 27, 2021 in Vienna, Austria. Representatives from the United States, Iran, the European Union and other participants from the original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are meeting both directly and indirectly over possibly reviving the plan. The JCPOA was the European-led initiative by which Iran agreed not to pursue a nuclear weapon in exchange for concessions, though the United States, under the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump, abandoned the deal and intensified sanctions against Iran.

Iran (Washington Insider Magazine) -After an already-tumultuous year involving Iran and its nuclear assets, the 2015 Iranian Nuclar Deal has been resurrected and reintroduced to the global stage. According to sources, the global authorities are to meet in Vienna the week after Christmas to determine Iran’s nuclear future.

This is a significant development, considering the halting of discussion that occurred late last week based on new demands from Tehran. After these demands were made the Iran nuclear negotiator had requested to return home for additional discussion and consultation, leaving the discussion at an impasse. Currently, Britain, French, Germany, China, and Russia are consulting with Iran – and the United States may not be far behind.

After withdrawing from discussion under the Trump Administration in 2018, the United States largely indirectly influenced discussions. After a quiet few years, the Biden Administration would like to make significant changes to foreign policy, rejoining the deal.

If the United States were to continue to follow through on this change, this could mean lessened economic restrictions and sanctions for Iranian trade and commerce, in exchange for a responsible nuclear policy.

Rejoining would also mean a more immediate return to safe nuclear practices, as Iran has acted on a reactionary basis. The US withdrew from the deal in early 2018, causing an almost-immediate risen threshold of Uranium production and enhancement out of Tehran – signalling to the rest of the world that Iran had resumed nuclear capacity and production at an enhanced rate.

While Tehran left the discussion table after making demands, the European authorities have also been considering making concessions and loosening the current regulations to comply with components of the new Tehran developments. This is done, presumably, to reduce the amount of nuclear research and enhancement that Iran has been doing, blocked from the UN in an effort to maintain the proprietary nature of the advancements.

This secrecy is pointing to a potentially larger problem down the line if Tehran is not satiated.

Additional developments are expected to come throughout the week prior to and of New Year’s, although legislators and authorities are not fond of working through the holiday season. The fact that discussions are still being held despite the season points to the importance that this deal holds for nationals, as well as humanity.

In 2018, President Donald Trump decided that the United States would no longer support the current structure and framework of the 2015 Iranian Nuclear Deal. Calling the layout rotten and ineffective, the president utilized his abilities to remove the nation from the agreement.

Political agencies and commentators alike were shaken from this monumental decision, defining a new era of foreign policy that allowed the US to reinforce its authority and inability to tolerate opaque political stances that otherwise pandered to the possibility of terrorism.

For the Biden Administration to reverse this decision so definitively, shows a renewed tenure of tolerance for Iran’s nuclear behaviour and for national entities as a whole.
