JCPOA countries urge Iran not to dismiss the possibility of nuclear deal

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countries are trying their best to prevent the deal from collapsing after the Trump administration had unilaterally withdrawn from the nuclear deal.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.
