The United States and Iran have embarked on indirect diplomacy with Europeans and others delivering messages on how they might comply with Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Friday.
“Diplomacy with Ioran continues, just not in fashion right now,” he told reporters.
“There is communication through the Europeans and through others that allows us to explain to the Iranians what our position is in terms of compliance and to hear what their position is,” said Sullivan.
The new administration of US President Joe Biden has refused to give Tehran a one-sided incentive to start talks but has insisted that both sides can take steps to resume talks. implement a treaty, an approach that Washington calls “compliance for compliance.”
