All the countries who have feared Iran going rogue after
the United States withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal are urging the gulf
nation oto not squander the chance to salvage the nuclear deal in future.
There are many countries who are attempting to keep the
2015 deal on Iran’s nuclear activities and they have agreed on Monday to
address the possibility of the US returning to the deal positively under the
Biden administration.
The virtual meeting on Monday saw different parties coming
to an agreement over the Iran issue after over a year. One of the top German
officials present in the meeting said that a ‘downward spiral’ was caused due
to Tehran making a U turn on the 2015 accord.
The countries involved in the matter are Germany, France,
Britain, China and Russia. These countries are trying their best to prevent the
deal from collapsing after the Trump administration had unilaterally withdrawn
from the nuclear deal.
The European countries are optimistic about the shift in
power in the White House and they expect the US to bring back the deal. The
deal was brought with an aim to prevent Iran from developing nuclear bombs or
carry out any socially threatening activities. Even though Tehran insists that
it does not want to do anything on those lines, many countries are still not
confident about it.
Soon after the meeting, a joint statement was released
saying, “Ministers
acknowledged the prospect of a return of the US to the JCPOA and underlined
their readiness to positively address this in a joint effort.”
Those part of the
meeting form the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and they further said that
the organization will continue its efforts to restore the deal and stressed
that “full and effective implementation of the JCPOA by all remains crucial.”
The 2015 deal had ensured Iran of economic incentives in exchange of its curb of the nuclear programme but soon after the US left the deal, it reinstated many of the previous sanctions and most of them targeted Iran’s economy.
