In return, Iran will roll back only some of the steps it has taken since 2019 to promote its nuclear program.\u201d The missive by former Military Intelligence chief Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, and former top officials in the Israel Atomic Energy Commission claims Washington is willing to accept only partial limitations on Iran\u2019s increased enrichment capacity and reduced UN inspections. They say the US will likely rebuff criticism by asserting it will deal with such issues as part of a broader, improved accord that will be negotiated down the line, but express doubts that such a deal is feasible. \u201cIran will be able to advance covertly and significantly reduce the time required to reach a nuclear arsenal,\u201d they argue.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/bennett-said-to-ramp-up-engagement-with-us-over-its-planned-return-to-iran-deal\">\u201cBennett said to ramp up engagement with US over its planned return to Iran deal,\u201d<\/a> Times of Israel, June 19, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Only four participated, Raeisi, Mohsen Rezaei, Abdolnasser Hemmati, and Amir Hossein Qazizadeh Hashemi.\u00a0 The other three dropped out.\u00a0 Wonderful system.\u00a0 Second, someone needs to ask Tehran Times if the central numbers recorded in this article match the collective numbers from the regions.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/462146\/Raeisi-wins-presidential-vote-in-Iran-with-a-landslide-victory\">\u201cRaeisi wins presidential vote in Iran with a landslide victory,\u201d<\/a> Tehran Times, June 19, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>When I read the headline, I thought that Iran was truly about to send a representative.\u00a0 Then I read the story\u2014Zarif (he makes an appearance!) still has demands that SA must meet first.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-06-19\/iran-s-zarif-says-he-s-ready-to-send-ambassador-to-saudi-arabia\">\u201cIran\u2019s Zarif Says He\u2019s Ready to Send Ambassador to Saudi Arabia,\u201d<\/a> Arsalan Shahla, Bloomberg, June 19, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTehran Government Bans Iran Blockchain Association,\u201d Lubomir Tassev, Bitcoin, June 19, 2021. \u201cHouthis Launch Attack with 10 Armed Drones Against Saudi Targets,\u201d Iran International, June 19, 2021. \u201cIran: Overseer of Mass Executions Elected President,\u201d Human Rights Watch, June 19, 2021.
