(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 28 - The talks in Vienna on Iranian nuclear power between Tehran and the United States and the other five allied powers that signed the 2015 Treaty resume tomorrow, after more than five months (China, Russia, France, United Kingdom and Germany) , later rejected by Donald Trump's unilateral US exit. But the prevailing climate, note the observers reprized by the international media, is one of general pessimism.
Joe Biden has changed his policy from his predecessor and would like a return to dialogue to put Iran's nuclear development plan, now governed by ultra-conservative president Ebrahim Raisi, under international control.
Tehran a few days ago reiterated that it did not want to give up its nuclear program, criticizing the UN nuclear agency, the IAEA, for alleged 'bias' and on Friday announced a further increase in uranium enrichment, also arousing outrage at the repression of water shortage riots in Isfahan. Tehran will send a new delegation of negotiators and reiterates its demand for an end to all sanctions.
Biden, Politico writes today, is ready to stand up and exit if the dialogue to revive the Joint Comprehensive Planof Action (JCPA) should not make progress. "Of course, Iran's failure to cooperate is a bad sign of its steadfastness for a successful conclusion of our negotiations," the US State Department said on Wednesday. The United States, CNN recalls, if the negotiations fail, are open to "other options". As for the other five countries, members of the 5 + 1 group with America, i.e. the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany), the goal is to start again from where the negotiations had stopped, but they will have to reckon with the unknown of the new Iranian administration, decidedly veered towards the hard line with the hawk Raisi,in office since last August.
