Iran nuclear deal: The devil remains in the details
The White House denies any concessions beyond the 2015 deal.
The buzz is that the parties may be close to an agreement to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
So close that Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid sent a message to the White House to walk away from the negotiations and avoid concessions above and beyond the original 2015 agreement.
On Aug. 8, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell clarified that the 25-page draft had been delivered to the capitals involved for their decision on whether to accept it.
Borrell’s spokesperson, Peter Stano, made it clear that the text is final and, as he put it, it’s “the moment for a decision.” Stano added, “We expect all participants to take this decision very quickly … there is no more space for negotiations.”
