Mora: JCPOA Talks Are Over

SECURITY

EU JCPOA Talks Coordinator Enriques Mora has stated that official talks in Vienna to reincorporate Iran into the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action have concluded.

  • Mora wrote: 'Just to clarify. There are no longer "expert level talks". Nor "formal meetings". It is time, in the next few days, for political decisions to end the #ViennaTalks . The rest is noise.'
  • This does not mean a deal will be signed but it does confirm that the JCPOA talks have now concluded and a deal must be struck in the domestic political arena.
  • The Biden administration is currently suffering political blowback from negotiating with Russia on the deal but it is likely that reintroducing Iranian oil onto the international markets will persuade lawmakers to approve a deal. Especially in the light of booming oil prices which have prompted recent bilateral talks between the US and Venezuela to discuss easing oil sanctions and a proposed Biden trip to Saudi Arabia to push the kingdom to boost supply.
