\u201cUS, Iran hold 1st indirect talks in bid to save nuclear deal,\u201d<\/a> Conor Finnegan, ABC, April 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

The NYT gets a kind of scoop from the Biden Administration\u2014but the headline doesn\u2019t quite match the news. But note the approval of the Supreme Leader, and remember–sanctions work.\u00a0 \u201cIran and U.S. Agree on Path Back to Nuclear Deal,\u201d<\/a> Steven Erlanger, New York Times, April 6, 2021.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe United States and Iran agreed through intermediaries on Tuesday to establish two working groups to try to get both countries back into compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. In a meeting of the current members of the deal in Vienna, all parties agreed to establish one working group to focus on how to get the United States back to the deal by lifting harsh economic sanctions imposed or reimposed after President Donald J. Trump pulled out of the accord in May 2018. The other working group will focus on how to get Iran back into compliance with the accord\u2019s limitations on nuclear enrichment and stockpiles of enriched uranium. \u2026 The new working groups are intended to create a road map for a synchronized return of both countries to compliance. But even if there is agreement, verification will take some time given the technical complications and the absence of trust on both sides. .. On Monday, an Iranian government spokesman, Ali Rabiei, said that President Hassan Rouhani and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were in agreement about nuclear talks. \u201cEverything can happen really quickly in a series of independent but connected synchronized steps,\u201d Mr. Rabiei said, according to official Iranian media.\u201d<\/p>\n
