The presidential election will not disrupt Iran’s nuclear talks, Western powers have said

Western powers have promised over the weekend that they will continue with efforts to restore Iran’s nuclear deal as major heads seek to address the implications of the election. Ibrahim President, a religious leader and judge, as President of Iran.

The negotiators in Vienna on Sunday ended the negotiations to restore the agreement. In Brussels the EU has said it is ready to work with the new Iranian government, saying “it is important that further legal efforts to bring about [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] going backwards. ”

U.S. officials insisted Sunday that the election of a strong president did not dampen Biden’s desire to revive Iran’s nuclear deal.

Jake Sullivan, a national security adviser to US President Joe Biden, told ABC News: “Our main goal right now is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. We believe that negotiations are the best way to achieve this, rather than conflict. As a result, we will have a clear, bold discussion with the Iranian people to see if we can achieve the results that put their nuclear program in the box. ”

He also said that Iran’s top leader will decide whether the country returns to the nuclear deal, not the country’s president.

As for Naphtali Bennett, Israel’s new prime minister, who worked last week, warned on Sunday that this was “the last opportunity for world powers to rise before their return to the nuclear deal, and to understand those involved in business”.

Speaking at his first cabinet meeting, he added: “These people are murderers, many murderers. The brutal crucifixion government should not be allowed to carry weapons of mass destruction that could kill thousands, but millions.”

Israel strongly opposed the resumption of the nuclear deal with Iran. It sees Iran’s hand behind its main enemy in the region – Hamas, the military itself directs the Gaza Strip, and Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia group and the largest political and military group in Lebanon.

The president took office earlier in August after winning Friday’s election, replacing Hassan Rouhani. Iran has been seeking to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and overthrow it without US sanctions. These elections give the authorities power to control all branches of government, creating uncertainty about what has happened in the past.

The president said during his campaign that his government would continue negotiations on nuclear weapons, and Iranian experts said the government needed to be ousted if the next president had a chance to live up to his promise to reduce the country’s economic woes.

But the intervener told FT that the brave ones wanted to negotiate on their own and would not change Tehran’s assertion that Iran’s support for military forces in the region and the expansion of its state-of-the-art weapons program was not worth discussing.

The president is more in line with the views of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a senior leader who is the last to speak on all important foreign and security issues, than Rouhani, who signed a nuclear deal in 2015 and wants to improve relations with the West.

The President’s government will not try to reconcile with the US in continuing to deal with nuclear weapons. Former US President Donald Trump abandoned the agreement in 2018 and imposed sanctions on Iran.

Since then Tehran has broken borders on the uranium enrichment treaty, raising concerns in major European heads about the prospects for the treaty, with Iran agreeing to ban its nuclear weapons in exchange for numerous international sanctions.

Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, a visitor to the European Council on Foreign Relations, said the victory of the election should not lead to talks in Vienna, adding that the US re-entry into the nuclear deal remains on Iran’s mind.

But he warned that success would change the course of negotiations in the short term. “The Presidential Government cannot expect to make such agreements, and the President’s reputation and how he can run the commission could lead to controversy in the West’s many human rights negotiations.”

Negotiators in Iran and the remaining six signatories – EU, Germany, France, UK, Russia and China – have been demanding since April to know how to restore unity and pave the way for US reconciliation,

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of State said: “Our Iranian policy is designed to advance the interests of the United States, regardless of who is in power. We want to reaffirm the achievements of the recent event in Vienna.”
