AVOIDING DIRECT TALKS: President Joe Biden’s strategy for finessing his insistence that the United States would rejoin the Iran nuclear deal only after Iran is in complete compliance with the 2015 agreement is to begin a process where both sides talk to the other signatories of the deal but not to each other.
Beginning tomorrow, representatives from the U.S. and Iran will begin negotiations in Vienna that are intended to begin a carefully choreographed, step-by-step process, whereby each side moves back into compliance with the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The talks will be structured around working groups in the European Union with the other parties to the agreement, Britain, France, Germany, China, and Russia.
