Washington has rejected Moscow’s recent demands for “written guarantees” of non-proliferation of Western sanctions imposed on Russia (due to military operations in Ukraine) on its trade with Iran.
According to the United States, new sanctions against Russia should not affect the implementation of the agreement with Iran, and Russia is no less interested in Iran never acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel News reports.
Moreover, according to Reuters, Tehran itself called the Russian demand “unconstructive”, since Iran, no less than Washington, fears that Moscow could torpedo an almost ready agreement in order to use its role in the negotiations in Vienna as a “pressure tool”. “.
Iran hoped to take advantage of the situation and the overall energy crisis in Europe in order to return to the oil markets at the peak of the sharp demand for hydrocarbons caused by the Russian military operation in Ukraine and the sanctions that followed.
Recall also that in early February, according to the Politico newspaper, US President Joe Biden’s administration officials warned senators that Iran had two months to produce enough material for nuclear weapons.
Such calculations, presented to Biden at a secret briefing, were called by the administration “sobering and shocking” – in light of the fact that American diplomats are just trying to conclude a deal with Tehran that should not allow it to acquire nuclear weapons.
