US dragging feet in responding to Vienna talks draft

Tehran, IRNA - The United States, who has accused Iran of lacking political will to sign a nuclear deal, has refrained from commenting on Iran's response to the draft text of the Vienna talks so far.

Seemingly, following Iran's response to the coordinator of the European Union on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal and the removal of the anti-Iran sanctions, internal and external pressures on the Biden administration has mounted; thus, the pressures pushed US President Joe Biden to postpone the White House's response to the draft.

Reportedly, the main axis of the pressures is based on the claim that the Biden administration is on the verge of giving excessive concessions to Iran concerning to the potential Vienna agreement; so, some parties try to reduce the concessions or even obstruct any accord.

Amid such a situation, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi underscored that his administration will not give in Iranian nation's rights in any negotiation.

Raisi emphasized that the Islamic Republic has succeeded in returning a remarkable amount of its assets from certain countries by the use of honorable approach, adding that his administration will powerfully continue its efforts to pave the way for progress and resolution of problems, because it will not tie Iranian people's livelihood to any foreign factor.

Today's conflict is the war of wills and the Iranian nation is determined to overcome its enemies, the chief executive noted.

Statistics of the Raisi administration's one-year performance proves the remarks made by the president that despite the existence of sanctions, Iran has been successful significantly.

In a couple of days, Mehdi Safari, Deputy Foreign Minister for economic diplomacy, declared that Iran's export volume increased 502 percent within the last year.

The most update report of the Eurostat showed that trade exchanges between 27 member states of the European Union and Iran increased in the first half of the current year some 24 percent in comparison to the same period last year, reaching 2.55 billion dollars.

However, one week after preparation of a draft text of potential Vienna agreement the Islamic Republic responded to the proposals of the other parties of the talks, and now the negotiating sides are waiting for the US to reply.

An American news website has reported that the US administration assured the Zionist regime that the nuclear agreement will not come out in the near future.

Yair Lapid, Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, has fervently attempted to get in the way of reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), writing a letter to Biden and claiming that the draft text is not in line with the United States' red lines.

The US administration has tried to convince the Israelis that the White House would not give any new concession to Iran, but it seems that the Tel Aviv regime has not been persuaded. Therefore, the Zionist regime's National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata is sceduled to visit Washington on Tuesday and hold talks with his American counterpart Jake Sullivan.

The Axios website quoted an American official as saying that the Vienna agreement may be more accessible than what it was in last two weeks, but the result of the negotiations is still ambiguous because of some gaps; so, imminent agreement seems to be out of reach.

Now that other parties involved in the Vienna talks described Iran's response as "constructive" and there are speculations of signing a deal, the US hesitates to put forward its own response.

As Iran's president said that he will not tie solution of economic woes to the nuclear agreement, prolongation of negotiations would not be in favor of Europeans and Americans, who are depriving themselves from Iran's oil and gas while the world is facing an energy crisis.
