Blinken: “Not enough time” for Iran to rejoin the nuclear deal
Washington is pressing Tehran to return to full compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) 2015, which lifted economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for curbing the country’s nuclear program. US President Donald Trump ended the agreement in 2017. Two years later, Iran warned Western nations that nuclear weapons could soon be reachable and announced that it had begun enriching uranium to levels banned by the JCPOA. Iran is using this time to advance its nuclear program in various ways, regaining the benefits of the JCPOA. ” Blinken spoke after a trilateral meeting between Israel and the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
