IPD Executive Director Bijan Ahmadi recently appeared on Voice of America for an interview to discuss recent developments as world powers and Iran are back in Vienna to resume their negotiations on reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
He argues that while the absence of direct Iran-US talks is an impediment in these negotiations, the major issue is the wide gap that still exists in the expectations and demands of the United States and Iran on the scope of sanctions relief, verification mechanisms and Iran’s nuclear commitments.
The interview is in Persian and can be watched here.
