Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at a cabinet meeting today, “The sanctions have failed and if we remained united, the sanctions will soon be removed.”
Iran and the members of the UN Security Council plus Germany are currently renegotiating the terms of the Iran nuclear deal known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The United States exited the deal in 2018 and reapplied crippling sanctions. Iran took steps out of compliance but technically remained party to the agreement. With President Joe Biden in office, the United States has decided to reenter the deal and negotiations are currently taking place in Vienna.
