Iran, preparing for the possible return of the "maximum pressure" policy, which may be resumed by US President-elect Donald Trump, said that 2025 will be the key year for resolving the nuclear issue. Al Arabiya writes about it, UNN reports .
Details
In 2018, Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal signed by his predecessor Barack Obama in 2015. Under this agreement, Iran agreed to limit uranium enrichment that could be used to make nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of US and UN economic sanctions.
2025 will be an important year in the context of the Iranian nuclear issue
His comments, which were broadcast on Iranian state television, were made after talks with his Chinese counterpart.
However, Araqchi did not mention Trump by name and did not specify what exactly is the significance of 2025.
It is noted that the main concern of Iranian leaders may be that Trump could provide Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with support for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, as well as further strengthen US sanctions against the country's critical oil industry.
Recall
Iran and Russia are planning to sign a strategic agreement at the end of January 2025, before Trump's possible inauguration. The document could give Iran access to Russian nuclear technology and new types of weapons.
