INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
campaign against Iran.Under the agreement, endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution, Iran agreed to put limits on its nuclear activities
multilateral deal, it also imposed more sanctions with the illusion that Iran will be forced to capitulate and abandon its right to peaceful
nuclear program.Iran even remained completely loyal to the terms of the agreement for a full year after the United States left the
time Iran announced that if the E3 honor their JCPOA commitment, it will return to its obligations.Writing an article in Financial Times on

another shock to its economy.Iran has also been insisting that though it has expedited its nuclear program, it has no intention to build

regime ever implemented by the International Atomic Energy Agency
In return, it opened up the prospect of benefiting economically from the lifting of United States , EU and UN sanctions to Iran.Full
Regrettably, it has also limited IAEA monitoring, while failing to co-operate fully with the agency under its basic safeguards obligations
sanctions lifting.To reverse this dangerous escalation, in my capacity as JCPOA coordinator, I seized the political momentum of a new United
States administration to launch in April 2021 a diplomatic process involving the JCPOA participants and the United States The aim was to
facilitate a United States return to the deal and full United States and Iranian implementation of their JCPOA commitments.After 15 months
of intense, constructive negotiations in Vienna and countless interactions with the JCPOA participants and the United States , I have
concluded that the space for additional significant compromises has been exhausted
I have now put on the table a text that addresses, in precise detail, the sanctions lifting as well as the nuclear steps needed to restore
the JCPOA.This text represents the best possible deal that I, as facilitator of the negotiations, see as feasible
Decisions need to be taken now to seize this unique opportunity to succeed, and to free up the great potential of a fully implemented deal
I see no other comprehensive or effective alternative within reach.We know the JCPOA remains politically polarizing in Washington as the
midterm elections approach
The deal may not have addressed all United States concerns with respect to Iran
with Iran in bilateral discussions
The JCPOA does not address them, and was never supposed to do so
It did, however, provide the benefit of winding down the previously expanding Iranian nuclear program and opening it up to strict IAEA
monitoring and inspections
This makes it a cornerstone of the global non-proliferation architecture.Restoring the full implementation of the agreement now can deliver
also help bring about a more co-operative security dynamic in the region, creating a positive momentum of confidence building.We know, too,
that in Tehran there are significant reservations over fully implementing a deal after the negative experience of recent years
The deal on the table reflects, however, the determination of all JCPOA participants to ensure its sustainability, including the commitment
of President Joe Biden and United States assurances in this regard
As a result, the deal is better protected from potential unilateral moves to undermine it.Every day with no agreement in Vienna postpones
concrete economic benefits to the Iranian people through substantial United States sanctions lifting, as well as the benefits of
non-proliferation for the world
Concluding an agreement now will deliver significant economic and financial dividends as well as strengthen regional and global
Vienna negotiations on the basis of my proposed text and to immediately return to a fully implemented JCPOA
The deal serves the cause of non-proliferation in return for sanctions lifting, showing that in turbulent times balanced international
agreements are still possible.If the deal is rejected, we risk a dangerous nuclear crisis, set against the prospect of increased isolation
It is our joint responsibility to conclude the deal.
