Ready to reopen nuclear negotiations. Hopefully this time it is a hard-line negotiation, I think they know they have no leverage after Israel took a dump in their front yard and they couldn't do anything about it. bne IntelliNews - Iran willing to restart nuclear talks on UNGA sidelines Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on September 23 that Tehran is looking to start a new round of negotiations on the nuclear issue during the United Nations General Assembly if the other parties are ready. Several rounds of indirect negotiations were held between Iran and the US to restore the 2015 nuclear, which unravelled after Donald Trump pulled out and reimposed harsh sanctions on the country. Talks finally reached an impasse and officially have been stalled for about two years, but recent leaks suggest talks restarted with the election Reformist Masoud Pezeshkian. Araqchi, who is in New York for the 79th UN General Assembly, said in an interview that Tehran is willing to kickstart the negotiations. He said there had been a “general declaration of readiness” from the other side (the US), but the resumption of the talks is now more complicated than before, given the current international situation about the situation in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon.
I saw that. The timing is, well, interesting. Maybe there’s a signal that their economy can no longer stay in its proxy war footing. Maybe the sanctions have started to work, and maybe their military defeats are enough to make them less aggressive. Who knows.
