New from me: Iran says 'no' to informal meeting diplomatic.substack.com/p/iran-says-no…
"Both sides are really stuck because they have both adopted positions from which they cannot retreat,” diplomatic.substack.com/p/iran-says-no…
"The only way forward at this stage is if the Europeans are willing to play the role of an intermediary without the Iranians and Americans talking directly,” the expert close to US negotiating team proposed. diplomatic.substack.com/p/iran-says-no…
Talks on talks deadlocked for now, as "Biden has already said there will be no down-payment...and the Iranians would not agree to take negotiations with the Biden Administration seriously in the absence of meaningful sanctions relief." diplomatic.substack.com/p/iran-says-no…
Biden “reasons, ‘why should I give them anything when they are behaving this way,’” the expert said...”The only way forward at this stage is if the Europeans are willing to play the role of an intermediary.” diplomatic.substack.com/p/iran-says-no… Image

Blinken in statement announces a "Khashoggi ban" to impose visa restrictions on 76 Saudi individuals believed to have been engaged in threatening dissidents overseas, including but not limited to the Khashoggi killing.
Blinken: While the US remains invested in its relationship with Saudi Arabia, Pres. Biden has made clear that partnership must reflect U.S. values. To that end, we have made absolutely clear that extraterritorial threats and assaults by Saudi Arabia against activists, dissidents
& journalists must end. They will not be tolerated by the United States."

thread: IAEA DG Grossi, speaking to @NTI_WMD, says of the understanding reached in Iran Sunday: Came in the end to what I described as a reasonable result in the form of the public statement which establishes a bilateral temporary technical understanding between the IAEA & Iran
whereby we will be able to conduct necessary verification and monitoring activities for a period of up to 3 months...We need to recognize we are confronted with a new reality. It is our conviction, in doing what we did, we can facilitate a smooth return to the previous situation
if that is possible after the consultations that are going to take place.
We facilitated an easier atmosphere and time for the indispensable diplomacy to take place in the coming (weeks and) days in order to bring some stability to the situation that needs it very, very badly
