EU envoy, Qatar emir arrive in Tehran amid final push for Iran deal
The Iran nuclear deal may be facing "last bullet" with no deal in sight on IRGC.
TEHRAN — A few months ago in Vienna, observers were anticipating a signing ceremony for a revival of the Iran nuclear deal, formally known Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The so-called P5+1 countries, minus the US, which was not in the room but at the center of the action, had to reconnect the lines that former US President Donald Trump cut when he announced his country's exit from the nuclear agreement in May 2018.
On Wednesday, the EU’s chief negotiator, Enrique Mora, met Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani in Tehran to listen to new developments after his last trip in March, the last previous shuttle exchange, when he carried some Iranian answers to Washington.
He reportedly is carrying no message from Washington. The buzz is he is in town because of an Iranian invitation. If so, it’s hard to believe he would either arrive or leave empty-handed, if the Iran deal is to have a pulse.
