Biden administration allegedly was ready to negotiate nuclear agreement with Iran - report

The Biden administration was reportedly ready to sign a nuclear agreement with Iran, according to a Friday exclusive report by the Arabic-language Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Jarida.

The report claims that an informed source in the Iranian Supreme National Security Council confirmed that US officials a few days ago on Tuesday said the Biden administration is willing to negotiate a return to the nuclear agreement concluded in 2015 after introducing minor amendments to it.

The source explained to Al-Jarida that the communications between the two sides at the security level have been ongoing since October 7, and have recently become almost daily, and even several times during the same day to avoid a clash between them in the context of the Gaza war.


The two sides had decided to return to an unwritten agreement between them before Hamas attacked Israel, the report described, as a meeting at the political level between them was cut due to the death of President Ebrahim Raisi.

Iranian officials in the report say that Biden is ready to sign such an agreement before the end of his term in November, but he wants the Iranians to immediately return to implementing their commitments in the nuclear deal and come to agreements on a multitude of issues, such as what Tehran should do with the highly enriched uranium and the advanced centrifuges that were recently produced, in addition to Biden guaranteeing Iran regarding the possibility of Trump winning the presidency and not withdrawing from the agreement, as he did in 2018.
