Iran Press/ Iran News: Seyed Abbas Araghchi made the remarks in an interview with Iranian state television last night.
"There seems to be an incentive in the team of the new US President Joe Biden to return to the Iran nuclear deal," Araghchi stated.
He said that one of the slogans of Biden and his team before the 2020 United States presidential election was to return to many international agreements, including the JCPOA because the agreement is one of the achievements of the US Democrats.
The Iranian diplomat added: "Many of those who were on Obama's negotiating team are also on Biden's team today, and it is natural that they have an incentive to return to the JCPOA as there is a view that Trump's maximum pressure policy has failed."
Iran's deputy foreign minister said, " Trump's campaign to put maximum pressure on Iran, thinking that the US withdrawal from the JCPOA could bring more benefits to the White House, failed and its goals were not achieved. Biden now believes that these policies need to change."
Under its former president Donald Trump, though, the US left the nuclear deal and reinstated the sanctions. Washington then pressured its allies in the pact -- the UK, France, and Germany -- into abiding by the economic bans and stopping their trade with Tehran.
