“The attack may have been prompted by recent advances made by a UAE-backed militia in Yemen, but this is unlikely to be the only - or perhaps not even the main - reason. The attack against Abu Dhabi also served as a dire warning by Iran to the UAE. The United States has been pressuring the UAE to better enforce Iran sanctions as nuclear talks continue. Depending on how the JCPOA [Iran nuclear deal] talks play out and on the UAE's own behaviour, more such attacks may be carried out against the country.”

“Vienna talks to resume on Monday 27 December. The JCPOA Joint Commission will meet to discuss and define the way ahead. Important to pick up the pace on key outstanding issues and move forward, working closely with the US. Welcome to the 8th round.”

“At Vienna Talks numerous outstanding issues still remain. But the negotiators work hard to narrow down the differences. For example: the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] participants (without Iran) and US had a late Monday evening meeting. All of them (except for US) maintain close contacts with Iran.”

“It is widely believed that the United States, by withdrawing from the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], breached the deal blatantly and violated UNSC Resolution 2231 flagrantly. However, Iran, having overcome the so-called maximum pressure campaign, is sitting at the negotiating table with full preparedness, capacity and total commitment to the 2015 deal. That's why the Americans, while resorting to deception, try to exploit the political and media environment in their own favour. But it is not to their advantage. They should accept reality and abide by all their commitments.”

“Part of the reason the president [Joe Biden] wants to have the chance to coordinate closely with our European partners, particularly with the E3 who are part of the talks, is for us to have a united front after the four years of division on the Iran policy in the last administration. We are alarmed and concerned by the steps that they have taken since they left the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA]. Within the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, there were constraints on that programme that were significant and substantial. We had a lid on that programme. Now we do not because we don't have that deal.”

“We're in a critical phase of the efforts to see whether we can revive the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]. We've had a hiatus of many months and the official reasons given by Iran for why we're in this hiatus are wearing very thin. We will continue to pursue diplomacy, even as we pursue other steps if we face a world in which we need to do that.”

“The window of opportunity to negotiate a return to the Iran nuclear deal will not be open forever. At some point, the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] will have been so eroded because Iran would have made advances that cannot be reversed.”

“I know that the Iranians want to have some kind of previous talks with me as coordinator and with some members of the board of the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]. I cannot tell you a precise date. I am ready to receive them, if needed. Time is pressing. The new government in Tehran had had enough time to study the file and instruct its negotiating team.”

“US & UK need to understand this and stop linking a humanitarian exchange—ready to be implemented—with the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]. Keeping such an exchange hostage to political aims achieves neither. TEN PRISONERS on all sides may be released TOMORROW if US&UK fulfill their part of deal.”

“The first time he used military force was about a month after he was inaugurated. I think it was no accident that he did it then to send that signal to Iran. The fact that he's doing it now while they are about to undergo the seventh round of the talks on the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] is him saying: 'Just because we are there, it doesn't mean we are going to ignore it [other issues]'.”

“The next (who knows- maybe final?) round of the Vienna talks on restoration of full implementation of the #JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] will start on May 7. Of course, if the need arises the negotiators may decide to make a new break to seek further instructions from the capitals.”

“Our position is clear and has not changed. All U.S. sanctions have to be lifted in accordance with the...agreement, and then we'll return to the nuclear deal. The Americans must lift the sanctions, all the sanctions, and then we will verify and if they are truly lifted, then we will return to our JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] commitments.”

“Today's development can maintain the path of diplomacy opened by Iran and the agency [IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency] and create the grounds for the full implementation of commitments by all JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] parties. Iran hopes that JCPOA participants can guarantee the full implementation of the JCPOA by all sides by using this opportunity and through serious cooperation.”

“It won't be the end of the world but it won't be good if the nuclear deal signatories fail to come to an agreement in those three months. Iran will continue to take steps out of the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] and to reduce cooperation with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], increasing suspicions that it is working on weapons. Iranians will continue to suffer from the impact of sanctions. Iranian politicians opposed to the deal and to any relaxation of tensions with the West will get stronger, and Iran will likely also be more difficult to deal with in Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, et cetera.”

“Reminder: Because of US withdrawal from JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], there is NO P5+1. It is now ONLY Iran and P4+1. Remember, Trump left the room and tried to blow it up. Gestures are fine. But to revive P5+1, US must Act: LIFT sanctions. We WILL respond.”

“There are people on both sides of the aisle that have real reservations about going back into the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - nuclear deal reached in 2015 by Iran with the US, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany ], particularly if there aren’t very significant sideboards put on that.”
