The US claims to be “disappointed” with negotiations with Iran in Doha

Washington has assured this Wednesday that it is “disappointed” after talks between US and Iranian officials in Doha, Qatar, – with the mediation of the European Union – aimed at saving the nuclear agreement with Iran that have ended without any progress.

“While we are very grateful to the EU for its efforts, we are disappointed that Iran has once again failed to respond positively to the EU initiative and therefore no progress has been made,” a senior official said. of the United States administration, as reported by the American chain .

In this sense, the official has highlighted that the talks are at a point of stagnation, “which at this time means a setback.”

The spokesman for the US State Department has stated that “in Doha, as before, we made clear our willingness to quickly conclude and implement an agreement on the mutual return to full compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) based on almost a year and a half of negotiations.

“However, in Doha, as before, Iran raised issues totally unrelated to the JCPOA and is apparently unwilling to make a fundamental decision on whether it wants to revive the deal or bury it,” the spokesman added.

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanani, has stressed on his Twitter account that the talks have been “intense”.

Talks in the Qatari capital to try to reinstate the 2015 deal have come after months of deadlock after numerous rounds of talks in Vienna, Austria, failed to make a breakthrough.

The United States withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 with then-President Donald Trump, and Iran has increasingly tightened restrictions on its nuclear program.
