The United States urges Moscow and Tehran to take the "decisions" needed to revive the 2015 nuclear accord, putting the ball squarely in their camp as last-minute Russian demands threatened to derail the process.

In a speech to Russia's State Duma, Raisi said Iran was serious about reaching an agreement to limit its nuclear programme, but would not agree to anything less than its "rights".
Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, says he is cautiously "optimistic" over "progress" made at negotiations to restore the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and several world powers, during his live-broadcast annual press conference. Negotiations for the Iran Nuclear deal, which began last year after the election of US President Joe Biden, were stopped in June as Iran elected ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi, and were only resumed again in November 2021.
Tensions between Israel and Iran are on the rise, as Tehran blames Israel for an attack against one of its nuclear facilities and vows “revenge”. The incident could undermine talks to get the 2015 nuclear deal back and running with the possibility of the United States re-joining it.
