Now that the ink is finally dry on the Iranian nuclear deal, Iran wants to make a few changes – namely, they want the sanctions the US and others are imposing completely lifted – not just suspended.
An advisor to Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei making the demand last weekend, before possible talks at the UN General Assembly.
Iran’s Foreign Minister is scheduled to meet with Secretary of State John Kerry in New York City soon, and Iranian officials plan a gathering in New York on September 28th with all members of the P5+1 group which hammered out the agreement.
The Middle East Media Research Institute is asking if negotiations are being “reopened” in light of these meetings, but there’s been no such announcement from Kerry or the Obama administration. A White House spokesman said that “We’ve long said that we’re not going to comment on or react to every statement attributed to the Iranian leadership. Our focus is on implementing the deal, and verifying that Iran completes its key nuclear steps under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. There is no renegotiation, and the nuclear-related sanctions relief that Iran will receive once the IAEA verifies that it has completed its nuclear steps is clearly spelled out in the text of the [agreement].”
