months since the taliban took control of that dentist on millions of people who have fallen deeply into poverty from being an urgent call from us for more funding to prevent math salvation in the us state department says iran must abandon demands it calls unacceptable in talks to revive the embattled 2015 nuclear deal to iran says an agreement could be reached in the coming days if certain issues are resolved. report say, one of the easiest removing a runs revolutionary guns off a us terrorism list. we've been clear about what a return to mutual compliance with the j c p a would look like. there are issues that the iranians have put on the table that are clearly extraneous to the 4 corners of the jcp away. every time they have done that, we have made very clear that the jcp away is about one thing and one thing only,
2:16 am
it's about iran nuclear program and we're prepared to negotiate one thing and one thing only. let's take a look at how we got hit. well, powers have been trying to salvage the iran euclid deal known as the j. c. p. o ame around signed the agreement back in 2015. it was designed to limit tyrants and nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. but in may 2018 then president donald trump withdrew the u. s. and began we imposing sanctions. a year later, iran started gradually ramping up its nuclear program. it reduced to access to monitors from the you and nuclear watchdog, increasing tension with the us. stop, start negotiations resumed in april last year under the bond and administration, and the european union's put forward. what it cold, a final text, edging all sides to finalize the deal for more analysis on this at let's bring in and gary some more from cambridge. he's a director of the crown center in the middle east studies at brandis university at
2:17 am
gary, thanks so much for being on the program. here we are again, reports of a potential agreement being reached. how confident are you that this time around a will be successful? well unfortunately it appears to me that iran is not willing to. ready accept the text that the e u has put forward. as far as i can tell from press reporting, iran has attach some additional conditions and demands that it wants to be bad. and if iran is not prepared to accept the new text, i imagine the u. s. will probably also have some changes that would like to see. so unfortunately, the e u effort to force under grain that has not succeeded or appears that way to me and we're likely to be in for further negotiations with an uncertain prospect for success. it doesn't sound very confident at all day gary took us through this
2:18 am
specific. so let's break it down. what do you think the sticking points are for washington? and then tell us about what the sticking points off the tyran. well, the basic text to lift us sanctions in exchange for ra, enrolling back its nuclear program has really been in plight since march of this year. and the reason why the agreement hasn't been concluded is because iran has raised 3 separate issues, which the u. s. considers to be extraneous to the text. first, iran wants sanctions lifted on the i, r g c or companies. so should, with the ira juicy. second, iran want some guarantees that even after president biden leaves the white house, the u. s. will continue to honor the arraignment. and 3rd, iran wants the i. e, a investigation in to past nuclear activities to the end. and as i
2:19 am
said, the u. s. considers each of these to be extraneous to the agreement and is not prepared to accept any of weather iran at the end of the day. drops all of these conditions and accept the economic benefits of restoring the agreement. i just don't know. it really depends on supreme leader hum. in these calculations. you publicly supported the original j st. pos. what's your opinion on this current framework? well, i think a revival of the j. c. p. o, a continues to be the most effective way to limit iran's nuclear program. its capacity to produce materials for nuclear weapons short of war. and of course, war has many risks learned certainties. and if the j c, p away is restored, it would continue to impose very substantial limits on a wants program until 2030. so that's 8 years from now,
2:20 am
many things can happen in 8 years. so i think it's very much in america's interest to revive the j. c. p. away. i think it's in iraq and christ as well. so i don't quite understand why supreme liter harmony continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics or whether he prefers to hang onto and ra, a iran's enriched uranium, even if it costs iran. tremendous loss of opportunity in terms of oil revenues. what's your understanding of the current state of iran's nuclear program? so since the u. s. as since president trump, foolishly that my view withdrew from the agreement at 2018, iran has met very substantial advances, especially in terms of manufacturing and deploying more efficient centrifuge sheets . advanced centrifuges to richer and m, and they built up
2:21 am
a stock pile of 5 percent and 20 percent, and 60 percent enriched uranium. however, iran has been very careful. it's been very calculating and cautious in terms of advancing its nuclear program and hasn't taken steps that might trigger an american or is railey military attack, especially production of weapons, great, 90 percent rich grania. so as these negotiations proceed, i expect that it won will continue to be very cautious in terms of advancing its program, but short of steps that it calculates might provoke and further sanctions or us or israel military attack. gary, just briefly before we let you go, what are the ramifications if ideal isn't reached? well, i think the talks will continue. i think for both sides continuing to try to reach an agreement is the best alternative from biden's standpoint. as i said,
2:22 am
no agreement would substantially grow back your ranch nuclear program without the risks of using military force. so i think the by didn't been stretched will want to continue from it ran standpoint, continuing to pursue under great met will limit the risk that there will be additional sanctions and post the next big test will be the september meeting of the i da, international atomic energy agency, board of governors lead late september and the board will be considering whether or not to condemn iran for failing to cooperate with i. e, a 1st nations or whether to give her want some additional time. so i think the next, you know, event we should look for as an indication of whether the talks can continue will be this. the 3rd week of september i. e, a board, governors, me, and we will be watching that space. we really appreciate your analysis on this
