The United States and Iran are not at war; comparing the strength of each, in the context of their ongoing negotiations (although indirect thus far) over returning to the nuclear agreement, does not explain what is currently taking place. By the latter, we mean the positive indications resulting from the international talks in Vienna and the U.S. State Department spokesperson’s announcement on April 7 that Washington is ready to remove sanctions on Iran “that are inconsistent with the JCPOA.”
As usual, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded to the latest American declaration by reiterating his demand for America to return to the nuclear agreement and to lift sanctions, in line with the established Iranian strategy and its long history of statements where Iranian leadership has insisted that Washington remove sanctions before Tehran’s agreeing to return to the nuclear deal.
