Iran risks escalation in Iraq, fires diplomatic flare for 'veteran politician' Biden
No need for negotiations. Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said if the incoming Biden administration revokes “only three executive orders” that imposed sanctions on Iran, there is no need for “preconditions or negotiations” on a return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal). If the United States ends sanctions, “Iran will carry out its obligations too,” Zarif said.
