Iran has squandered a lot of trust in nuclear talks, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Wednesday, January 5, 2022.

There is not much time to revive a nuclear deal, Baerbock said, after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

World powers are negotiating with Iran’s regime in Vienna to bring it back within the limits of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Tehran is demanding full sanctions relief before taking any steps to reduce its uranium enrichment program.

The UN nuclear watchdog has limited access to Iran’s nuclear facilities. Experts and politicians are worried that Tehran is stalling the talks and buying time to reach the nuclear weapons threshold.
