Conflicting messages from the US: US
President Joe Biden confirmed today (Saturday) for the first time that nuclear talks with Iran are expected to resume soon.
Biden, who will attend this week's climate conference in Glasgow where Prime Minister Bennett will also take part, was asked when he thinks the US is expected to return to the nuclear talks and replied: "They are expected to resume."
Iran claims: "Revolutionary Guards keep American boats away"
Meanwhile, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bakri Kani said a few days ago that after a meeting with EU representatives, the parties agreed to resume nuclear talks before the end of November.
In his statement, the Deputy Foreign Minister said that “there have been serious and constructive talks with the Union Envoy on the important elements for achieving successful talks, we have agreed to start negotiations (on entering back into the nuclear agreement; EL) by the end of November.
A specific date will be announced next week. "
It is estimated that the Iranian declaration refers to talks as they were until the last round - that is, direct talks with the Europeans, and at the same time, indirect talks with the Americans through the Europeans.
It is also likely that the talks will take place in Vienna this time as well.
Ahead of his meeting with Germany, France and the UK on Iran strategy, Biden is asked, “Mr.
President, when would you like to resume talks with Iran? ”
Biden: "They're scheduled to resume."

As you may recall, Iran has invited France, Britain and Germany to a meeting in Tehran where they will discuss and resume negotiations for a return to the nuclear deal. This was reported today (Wednesday) by the Iranian Press TV channel. A source close to the details of the diplomatic activities of Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bakri Kani stated that "no response has yet been received." He added that "Iran agrees to direct talks with the three European countries involved in the agreement."
The Iranian move, in the form of inviting the three European powers to Tehran, marks a new record in the ayatollahs' disregard for the Biden regime.
While Washington officials convey conflicting messages, some about the priority for diplomatic activity and some about the "door" that will not remain wide open forever, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi and his men continue to gallop forward in their nuclear program.
Given Biden's desire to find a diplomatic solution with Iran, it would not be unreasonable to believe that he might agree that representatives of the three European powers would fly to Tehran - while his men remain excluded from the negotiations.
Combat UAVs of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards,
Despite US efforts to bring Iran back to the negotiating table, tensions between the two countries continue to manifest last week, after the US claimed that Iran was behind the UAV attack on the US military base in Syria last week. In Washington, D.C., it is believed that Iran is behind the attack and it was carried out on its instructions, while the senior official stressed that the unmanned aircraft that took part in the attack were not launched from Iran's territory.
