Biden's Iran Envoy Says U.S. "Can't Wait Forever" as Iran Continues Nuclear Advances
(Bloomberg-JNS) U.S. Special Representative to Iran Robert Malley discussed the delay in returning to nuclear talks with Iran on Bloomberg TV on Sept. 3. "As Secretary [of State] Blinken has said, we can't wait forever as Iran continues its nuclear advances, because at some point their advances will be such as to make a return to the JCPOA much less valuable to the U.S. than it would otherwise be. So...let's not drag this on for too long because at some point, we'll have to reach a different conclusion." "We've said we're prepared to lift those sanctions that are inconsistent with the [nuclear] deal and to do that if Iran reverses those nuclear steps that are inconsistent with the deal....But if Iran is asking more of the U.S. than is provided in the deal, or is prepared to do less than it is committed to in the deal, then it doesn't matter whether we resume the talks yesterday, today or in three months. We will hit an impasse."
