The United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear accord in 2018, leading to Iran gradually reducing its commitment to the deal. The agreement aimed to curb Iran’s nuclear activity, which they claim is for peaceful purposes.
After the US exit, European nations attempted to salvage the deal, but according to newly elected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, they have failed to meet their commitments. Despite the challenges, Pezeshkian expressed willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with Europe for mutual cooperation.
Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon and considered a reformist in Iran, won the election following the death of ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi. He aims to strengthen ties with strategic allies like China and Russia while working on improving relations with Arab neighbors.
Overall, Iran remains open to collaboration with various countries to address common challenges and deepen economic and trade relations for the benefit of all parties involved.
