‘Window is Closing’: Iranian Diplomat Says US ‘Must Act Quickly’ to Rejoin JCPOA - Sputnik International

A top Iranian diplomat has indicated that the US needs to take steps now, if it wants to ease relations with Iran, to rejoin the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

In an exclusive interview with USA Today, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, stated that the Biden administration “must act quickly” before the opportunity to return to the 2015 agreement is no longer an option.

    “The window is closing” for the Biden team to act, the official underscored.

Iran’s parliament established a February 21 deadline for the Biden administration to lift all US sanctions that were either reimposed as a result of the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, or penalties implemented as part of the Trump administration’s so-called 'maximum pressure' campaign against the Middle Eastern country.
