Iran Press/ Europe: On December 8, a former adviser to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, Hossein Taeb, said that the United States is now asking Tehran to return to the talks on the revival of the JCPOA after its attempt to overthrow the Iranian democratic government failed.
"What one can say is that the JCPOA, or what remains of it, has become, in practical terms, irrelevant. It will have to be revived, and I think there is still maybe a glimmer of hope that this could be done, although that is in the hands of those negotiating," Rafael Grossi said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
The latest round of talks on restoring the JCPOA took place in Doha on June 29-30. After the representatives of the countries involved returned to their capitals, the dialogue on this topic was suspended.
The US intends to focus on alleged Iran’s weapons deliveries to Russia and on ongoing riots in the country and not on resuming talks on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on removing sanctions on Iran, US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley said recently in an interview with Bloomberg.
The misinformation campaign against Iran has not stopped since the beginning of the riots in September. Riots broke out on September 16 after a young Iranian woman Mahsa Amini died.
The 22-year-old fainted at a police station in the capital, Tehran, and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. An official report by Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization said that Amini’s controversial death was caused by an illness rather than alleged blows to the head or other vital body organs.
Ever since, the rioters have been going on a rampage across the country, attacking security officers, resorting to vandalism against public property, and desecrating religious sanctities.
