U.S., European Officials See Fading Prospects of Iran Nuclear-Deal Revival
(Wall Street Journal) Laurence Norman - A hardening of demands from Tehran raises doubts about its willingness to revive the 2015 nuclear deal soon. In a weekend statement, France, Germany and Britain said they weren't open to further compromise and warned that Tehran's revamped demands raised "serious doubts as to Iran's intentions and commitment to a successful outcome." There are two major issues at the heart of the remaining differences. One is Iranian demands for stronger guarantees that they will reap the full economic benefits of restoring the 2015 deal, including under a new U.S. president. Tehran also reupped a demand to close a UN atomic agency probe into undeclared nuclear material found over the last three years in Iran.
