Iran Renews Demands for U.S. Guarantees in Nuclear Deal Talks
(Wall Street Journal) Laurence Norman - Iranian demands for guarantees from the U.S. have once again stalled efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear pact. Tehran sent a response on Monday that neither accepted nor rejected an EU draft text of a deal but raised several issues Iran wanted incorporated into the agreement. Central to Iran's response were assurances it seeks that Western companies investing in Iran would be protected if the U.S. withdrew from the pact again. Iran also floated mechanisms in the agreement that would allow Tehran to quickly increase its nuclear work if Washington quit the deal. A senior European official said Wednesday that Tehran and Washington need to give a yes or no on the draft text, dismissing the idea of reconvening talks.
