One week before the inauguration of the new Iranian president, Ibrahim Raisi, senior officials in the Biden administration stressed in a message to the Iranians that even if the new government in Tehran hardens its positions on returning to the nuclear deal, it will not accept further concessions from the United States.



The Biden government had hoped to reach an agreement with Iran on a return to the 2015 nuclear deal even before the Iranian presidential election, but this did not happen. Subsequently, the Americans hoped that an agreement would be reached before the inauguration of Raisi, in recent days in the role of President Rouhani. This is not going to happen either.



After six rounds of negotiations in Vienna in recent months between Iran and the superpowers, talks were suspended by the Iranians immediately after Raisi's victory in the election. Who may appear to be the foreign minister in Raisi's government is Ali Bagiri, a conservative diplomat who is one of the leaders of the camp and criticized the 2015 nuclear deal.

In recent weeks, the United States has not received any official information or message from Iran regarding the incoming government's position on the nuclear deal. "M quickly.



"We hope the new Iranian government does not think it will get more from the outgoing Iranian government because it will present tougher positions to us," the senior US official said. "The question is not how tough they will be unless they are willing to fully re-implement the 2015 nuclear deal. The United States' position will not change and the Iranians will not be able to reinvent the nuclear deal and will not be in a situation where they do less and the United States does more."

The senior US official noted that a point could be reached in a few months in which his country would consider a return to the 2015 nuclear deal unprofitable, as Iran's nuclear program has progressed to a point where restrictions in the nuclear deal cannot bring Iran back a year from a "nuclear" hack.



"We still prefer to return to the nuclear deal and this is our preferred option but the window of opportunity will not remain open for us for much longer," said the senior Biden government official.

"There is a deal on the table and if the Iranians want to lift US sanctions, they have a way of doing it."

Despite Khamenei's remarks, the events of recent weeks in Iran point to the impact of the severe economic sanctions on the country and the difficulty they create in providing basic services to citizens.
