World powers gathered in Vienna for a new round of talks on Iran’s nuclear program after a five-month hiatus. According to reports, Ali Bagheri Kani, Tehran’s chief negotiator, has reiterated demands for the immediate lifting of all sanctions.
Bagheri also insists that the US and its allies promise never to impose sanctions on Iran’s regime. Iran’s regime has threatened to escalate its nuclear program if its demands are not met.
Iran has been enriching uranium beyond levels permitted in the 2015 nuclear accord (JCPOA). According to some reports, Tehran is inching toward 90% enriched, weapons-grade uranium.
