While the US considers the outcome of Iran’s recent election “pre-manufactured,” it “does not affect our determination to try to reach a deal or the pace at which we will go about pursuing it,” senior State Dept official said. diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-still-ser…
US official pressed for follow-on talks, and said it would seem they would be in Iran’s interests too, “because they have issues that they’re going to want to bring to the table.” diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-still-ser…
Iranian negotiators have now briefed Iranian president-elect Raisi on the negotiations to date. It is likely in the next round of talks in Vienna, there will be an observer from Raisi’s team joining the Iranian side, @AliVaez said diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-still-ser…
On Iranian demand for assurance the US won’t quit the deal again, “There is no such thing as a guarantee, and I think Iran knows it and we know it,” the State Department diplomat said.
