Iranian Media React to a Possible New Nuclear Deal
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt.-Col. (ret.) Michael Segall and Iran Desk - In discussions on renewing the Iran deal, there are three main issues in dispute: lifting the sanctions, guaranteeing the sustainability of the new deal and the economic benefits for Iran even if the U.S. administration is replaced, and the issue of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) oversight and inspections. Fereydoon Abbasi, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said on Aug. 20, 2022, that even if a deal was signed, the West would not change its attitude toward Iran. "Its ideology and its principles lead it to seek Iran's destruction and curtail its revolutionary activity throughout the world, particularly in Asia and Africa. The West will try in every way to continue the heavy economic pressure on Iran and the Iranian people."
