According to European media reports on the 30th, although the "relationship crisis" between the United States and France did not appear a clear "reconciliation" statement, after France successively released "positive signals" for Biden's European meetings, US President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as the leaders of Britain and Germany, still held a "four-nation meeting" in Italy, and the results of this meeting finally pointed to Iran.
"We will make a strong guarantee that Iran will never be able to acquire nuclear weapons, nor can it produce nuclear weapons, which is the commitment of our four countries to the international community." The United States, Britain, France, and Germany made a joint statement after the meeting. Immediately after that, the US government also stated that the United States will return to the issues related to the Iranian nuclear agreement, but it is "conditional".
According to the report, the US White House gave the main reasons for the meeting between the four countries on the official website. They believe that Iran's escalation in the nuclear program and "tentative" actions have posed a "threat" to the security of the international community, "so we must come up with a consistent response to ensure that Iran will never have the possibility of acquiring nuclear weapons!" This is the consensus of the four countries. ”
"After our understanding, the relevant nuclear program proposed by the Iranian side, although in the name of civilian use, in fact, there is no civilian demand in the country." Therefore, we are more inclined to think of Iran's actions as more tentative. Iran's plan to produce more highly enriched uranium also looks more provocative. In a statement, the four countries said that civilian names have become a "reason" for Iran to develop nuclear weapons, in order to constantly test the international community's "tolerance" for them.
According to the report, the leaders of the four countries of the United States, Britain, France and Germany are very dissatisfied with Iran's unilateral shutdown of the International Atomic Energy Agency's monitoring facilities. They believe that Iran is deliberately evading relevant supervision, "What we want to say is that this kind of behavior will not help the Iranian nuclear agreement to enter into force again, but will make other signatories of the agreement full of concerns about Iran's evasion of monitoring." ”
Once because of the Trump administration's unilateral withdrawal from the agreement, the United States increased sanctions on Iran, the Iranian government suspended the International Atomic Energy Agency, monitoring activities in Iran, Iran said that the U.S. behavior has undermined the relevant agreement, then Iran is not obliged to accept more surveillance. Soon after, the Iranian government announced that it had begun to produce high-enriched uranium, but Iran also stressed that the production of these high-enriched uranium was due to civilian needs and would not be used for military weapons research.
According to reports, because of the conflicts and disputes between the United States and Iran, the issue of the Iranian nuclear agreement has not been effectively resolved. With the intervention of the international community and other signatories to the agreement, the United States and Iran finally agreed to negotiate in Vienna in a "third-party message" manner. But despite the previous six rounds of negotiations, the two countries still have not reached a consensus on the agreement.
Subsequently, the Iranian government informed all participants that because of the change of national leadership, the relevant negotiations would be postponed until "the new leader adapted and understood the negotiations", which caused the relevant negotiations to be shelved until now.
It is worth mentioning that during the period when Iran was shelving negotiations, the US State Department raised the "threat" more than once. The US State Department spokesman said that the "diplomatic window" left for negotiations will not always exist! Because the Iranian government does not respond, the "diplomatic window" has gradually closed, when the United States will no longer use diplomatic means to resolve the agreement issue, but take other measures to ensure that the United States and the international community will not be threatened by Iran.
In this context, the four countries of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany once again stressed the need for "negotiations" in their recent meetings, believing that negotiations will not only return the United States and Iran to the agreement, but also provide a favorable platform for diplomatic dialogue between all parties.
At the same time, the US White House also assured that as long as Iran re-complies with the relevant agreement, the United States will return immediately. In fact, where the two countries argue is the US sanctions on Iran.
