Israel does not see a renewal of the historic 2015 Iran
nuclear deal with world powers before the United States mid-term elections in
November. In recent days, Israel has been advocating against the re-entry of
the deal sought by the current US administration.
On Saturday, Britain, France and Germany (E3) also said that
they had "serious doubts" about Iran's intentions over the revival of
the nuclear deal. However, Iran called the European statement
"unconstructive".
Citing European parties’ frustration over the deal, the
Israeli official said, "At this point in time, it appears that a nuclear
deal with Iran will not be signed at least until after the US mid-term
elections.” The Iranian official also supported the decision of former US
president Donald Trump's withdrawal from the deal.
Briefing the Israeli cabinet on Sunday, the Prime Minister
of Israel, Yair Lapid, thanked the European powers for their stand over the
2015 nuclear deal. Israeli Prime Minister arrived in Germany on Sunday to
persuade Western countries to ditch their nuclear deal with Iran.
After 16 months of indirect talks between Iran and the
United States, the European Union on August 8 laid down a final offer for the
revival of the historic deal. However, recent political problems have affected
the deal. Recently, the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisolsadati, said that
reviving the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers would not make any sense
unless the United Nations nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), put an end to its probe of undeclared sites in Iran. The Iranian
officials also said that Tehran needed stronger guarantees from the United
States for the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal.
Earlier, the talks for the revival of the agreement were
stopped when Iran demanded that the US must remove the IRGC (Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps) from the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist
Organisations.
