The nuclear deal is receding: A senior US administration official told Reuters this evening (Monday) that the chances of an agreement between the United States and Iran on the nuclear issue are "slim", following the failure of talks between the countries in Doha, Qatar.
"The chances of an agreement after what happened in Doha are slim and the conditions for reaching understandings are getting worse with each passing day," the source told the news agency.
"At best, Doha can be described as shuffling and at worst as a walk-in. But at this point in the negotiations, shuffling in the same place is like walking backwards," the source said.
Senior figures in Iran fear the system of alliances being forged in the Middle East between Israel and the moderate regimes in the Arab world, the Reuters news agency revealed in a conversation with senior officials in the corridors of power in the Islamic Republic.
The call comes against the backdrop of the ongoing shuffle in nuclear talks between the United States and the powers.
"Times are changing, alliances in the Middle East are changing. Israel is sabotaging relations with Arab countries, and the United States supports it," a senior U.S. official told the Associated Press in frustration.
"These are serious threats to our stability, we can not allow it. Our enemies are praying to God for the failure of nuclear talks, but it will not happen," the source said.
