The interim plan will commence while the countries map out a final agreement over the next six months in which the countries can settle a permanent nuclear negotiation.
As Reutersreports:
Senior officials from the European Union and Iran met in Geneva on Thursday and Friday to iron out remaining practical questions related to the implementation of the November 24 deal, under which Iran agreed to curb its most sensitive nuclear work in return for some relief from Western economic sanctions. [...]
The accord is designed to last six months and the parties hope to use the time to negotiate a final, broad settlement governing the scope of Iran's nuclear program.
On Sunday Iran, the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, agreed to begin that process on January 20th.
"We will ask the IAEA to undertake the necessary nuclear-related monitoring and verification activities," Ashton said.
"Capitals have confirmed the result of the talks in Geneva ... the Geneva deal will be implemented from January 20," Marzieh Afkham, spokeswoman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, told reporters in Tehran.
A final negotiation is, however, still slated for six months away.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of U.S. Senators have lined up behind a recently proposed bill that would increase harsh sanctions on Iran, a move that could likely tear down the process of diplomacy and create more unstable relations with Iran if it is successful, critics charge.
President Obama has spoken out against such a bill and on Sunday repeated his intentions to prevent any further sanctions on Iran.
"I will veto any legislation enacting new sanctions during the negotiation," he said on Sunday.

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
