Saudi Arabia’s permanent representative at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Abdullah Al-Muallami, said the United States will not return to the Iranian nuclear deal again under the administration of President-elect Joe Biden, noting that the deal “has demonstrated completely its failure. “
On May 8, 2018, the administration of current US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and imposed tough economic sanctions on Tehran to force it to negotiate a new deal.
In response to a question from the “Fox News” news channel about whether he believed that the Biden administration would move away from the Gulf countries and return to Iran and the nuclear deal, Al-Mouallimi said: “I think the Iranian nuclear deal has proven its failure for everyone. I don’t think anyone is naive about it. ” Just go back to the same deal. “
He added: If there is a new agreement on which Saudi Arabia participates in the discussion and covers the shortcomings of the previous agreement, such as Iran’s behavior in the region, the issue of ballistic missiles and the supply of weapons to pro-militia militias etc, then we will all support you.
Biden’s campaign team had previously informed Fox News that the president-elect’s position on Iran had been “clarified” in a recently published op-ed, in which Biden made it clear that he would join the deal if Iran complied again. strictly with the agreement.
“First, I will make an unwavering commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and second, I will offer Tehran a credible path to return to diplomatic tracks,” Biden said.
It should be noted that the administration of former US President Barack Obama had reached an agreement with the main countries (France, Great Britain, China, Russia and Germany) in 2015 in which the latter agreed not to manufacture nuclear weapons in exchange for material and diplomatic incentives.
