Iran, the U.S. and other world powers are nearing a deal to revive the 2015 nuclear accord, although negotiators are still wrangling over significant final demands from Tehran, including the scope of sanctions relief.
An agreement could be finalized in Vienna within the next couple of days, said officials involved in the talks. President Biden has made restoring the agreement a top foreign-policy goal. The White House views an agreement restraining Iran’s nuclear program as key to Middle East stability, allowing the U.S. to focus on China and Russia.
An agreement would set out the steps Iran and the U.S. must take to return to compliance with the 2015 deal, which imposed tight but temporary limits on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for suspending international sanctions. The U.S. pulled out of the deal in May 2018 and reimposed sweeping sanctions on Iran, which brought most international trade with Iran to a standstill.
While the terms of a restored deal would be almost identical to the 2015 pact, Iran’s “breakout time”—the duration needed to amass enough nuclear fuel for a bomb—could fall to as low as six months, down from about a year in the original deal, U.S. officials say.
Any deal would likely need final signoff by the leaders of the countries involved: the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran. Among the most important unresolved issues is how many U.S. sanctions will be lifted, including those on the office of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
*** U.S. and European officials have indicated that they want a deal by the end of February, because of advances in Iran’s nuclear work. Western diplomats have warned they could leave the negotiating table in coming days if an agreement isn’t within reach.

can’t just stop in one place. Must have whole world unravel.
Biden and Obama will force Israel to do what needs to be done.
I’m concerned about this but know that Israel will not trifle with this situation.
As Iran nears nuclear capability.
Israel is not a signatory anyway. I wonder if the einsteins of Biden state dept gave any thought to timing, since Iran and Russia will be happy to collude against us once sanctions on Iran are lifted. We really need a government here, asap.
While y’all were focusing on Putin......
Exactly when Russia is taking back parts of Ukraine, Biden capitulates to Iran and gives them billions for pledging to not do something they probably have already done, meaning Iran probably has everything they need to produce a bomb, Biden is going to pay them anyway.
It’s not Biden, It’s the Jihad Junta, Islamists all.
Right.
Biden needs to help Iran to the nuclear delivery finish line to threaten Israel.
Since one year ago:
Iran closer to nuclear.
North Korea honing the edge on missile delivery of nukes.
Anti Israel forces stronger.
China ready to flex muscles in ocean area takeovers and squeeze put on Taiwan.
And Putin making his strategy moves as we speak.
Do we all feel safer now?
We should have the next Olympics in Iran. We’ll send our tranny swimmers there, and they’ll all take gold medals.
It is difficult to imagine Biden having the time to deal with the Ukraine crisis when he is in the midst of releasing 130 billion of withheld Iranian funds to Iran to strike a deal that will reduce their lead time to build a nuke to 6 months. It is a foregone conclusion that they will have one. Peace in our time is limited to 6 months. It is no wonder Putin wants to get his plan of aggression accomplished before Biden steps down or is thrown out. That kind of weakness comes once a century.
Biden needs that oil.
China should start crap with Taiwan any day now.
You write, “Biden and Obama will force Israel to do what needs to be done. I’m concerned about this but know that Israel will not trifle with this situation.”
It is obvious that Biden and the European cowards are determined to compel Israel to destroy the Islamist state of Iran. Which when forced, it WILL do.
Biden loves Iran, hates Russia. Must be a $$$ kickback involved.
Just send a few guys in, have them sneak around, grab a few mopeds, then show their Nuke Scientists up close just how effectively plastic explosives stick to automobile glass and how easy they are to ignite.
That might be my strategy.
Dang, shhhhhh.
Pallets of more cash….10% for the “Big Guy”
Well, he failed completely in Afghanistan and now Ukraine. Let’s see if he can achieve a failure trifecta.
The greatest threat to Canadians' freedom is their own government. Look at the Ottawa truckers.
Ditto for most Western peoples and their own governments.
Another deal makes us look like idiots. I really hate Biden and Democrats (and I don’t use the word hate often.)
