Berlin: United States Secretary Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Iran’s talks on their nuclear program were on “decisive moments,” but warned that if the agreement was not achieved in the coming weeks, Washington and his allies could change tactics.
Speaking in Berlin after meeting senior diplomats from Germany, France and England, Blinken said that Iran a longer failed to obey the WINA 2015 Accord – intended to master the Tehran nuclear program – getting closer to building atomic weapons.
“We are indeed a decisive moment,” Blinken told reporters, adding that he believed in simple progress had been made during sustainable talks in the Austrian capital.
“But we are not the place we need.
And if we don’t get there soon, we have to take different courses,” he said.
The United States withdrew from the Vienna Accord under President Donald Trump and returned economic sanctions in Tehran.
Iran responded by increasing the purity of uranium to enrich and inventory, with the violation of the agreement.
President Joe Biden has hinted that he wanted to rejoin the agreement.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, whose country remains part of the agreement known as a common comprehensive action plan with France, England, China and Russia, echo Blinken words.
“Our goal is to maintain and preserve the agreement and above all, to make Iran see reason and to ensure that Iran cannot increase its enrichment capacity,” he said.
Baerbock shows that European countries have tried to ensure China and Russia also maintain pressure on Tehran.
The two countries have in the last few days brought about trade agreements and new economic cooperation with Iran, which some fears can damage efforts to make Tehran make concessions at Vienna talks.
