Washington is careful about European mediation over the nuclear deal with Iran

The US has responded languidly to an Iranian proposal that requires parallel measures being taken by Washington and Tehran to return to the nuclear deal, and have stated that there are already steps that must be considered before the US begins talking with the Iranians or accepting their proposals, and therefore experts start to speak to or approve their proposals. Experts concluded that the American response is an indication of US President Joe Biden’s consultations about Iran’s proposal that the European Union should play a mediating role between them to preserve the nuclear deal, from which the previous US administration withdrew. Meanwhile, experts stressed that the talks should not focus solely on the American side concerning the nuclear deal between America and Iran.
