DUBAI: Iran needs stronger guarantees from Washington for the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal, its foreign minister said in Moscow on Wednesday , adding that the UN atomic watchdog should drop its"politically motivated probes" of Tehran's nuclear work.
"Iran is carefully reviewing the EU-drafted text ... We need stronger guarantees from the other party to have a sustainable deal," Amirabdollahian told a joint news conference with his Russian counterpart in Moscow. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said he had not seen the Iranian foreign minister's comments.
Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid in a phone call on Wednesday the United States will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, the White House said in a statement. The man who ultimately matters in Iran's nuclear dispute with the West, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has not commented on the nuclear talks in his public speeches for months.
"It will be a massive embarrassment for the supreme leader if Washington pulls out of the deal again," said a former Iranian official."That is one of the reasons behind Tehran's insistence on this issue."
