CNN-US Official Says Iran Removes Another Key Demand Re: Inspections

IRAN

CNN reports that a senior US official has stated that "Iran has removed another key demand associated with nuclear inspections" as talks continue over reviving the nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPoA).

  • Comes as Israeli alternate PM Naftali Bennett tweets comments calling for US to reject any new deal:
    • "I call on [President] Biden & the US administration to refrain[...] from signing the agreement with Iran. This agreement will send approximately a quarter of a trillion dollars to the Iranian terror administration's pocket and to its regional proxies, and will enable Iran to develop, install and operate centrifuges, with almost no restrictions, in a mere two years."
    • "Throughout the past year, even when it was very close, we successfully convinced our White House counterparts not to give in to Iranian demands. I hope this will remain the case. One way or another, the State of Israel is not a party to the agreement. Israel is not committed to any of the restrictions stemming from the agreement and will utilize all available tools to prevent the Iranian nuclear program from advancing."
