The head of Iranian diplomacy on Monday proposed to his European counterpart to play the role of mediator between Washington and Tehran to save the Iranian-American settlement. It thus seems to open the door for the first time to the “synchronized” process, while each country refuses momentarily for the first step.
The Iranian Foreign Minister on Monday 1 February asked the European Union (EU) to mediate between Iran and the United States to save the Iran nuclear deal. “Obviously the Spurs of the agreement could have a mechanism to synchronize the withdrawal of the two countries,” or coordinate what can be done, “Mohammad Jawad Zarif told CNN International.

Open door
However, Iranian diplomacy has so far demanded that the Biden administration take the first step by removing the first ban. Mohammad Jawad Zarif’s proposal seems to open the door to a “synchronized” process for the first time, even if he reaffirms that Americans, who have abandoned the agreement, must first “demonstrate their good faith”.
In an interview with US channel NBC, which aired on Monday, the new US Secretary of State Antony Blinken speculated that Iran would take “a little time” to get back on the nails, yet there would be “a definite time” for it. The States “assesses whether it has fulfilled its commitments”.
