Why the Iran nuclear talks have stalled

Why have the nuclear negotiations with Iran stalled?  Middle East Monitor, February 16, 2022   ””    …………………………………………………………………… Optimism about the outcome of the current negotiations remains difficult, not only because of the internal pressures — US negotiators obliged to make changes to the agreement; the Iranians calling for the complete lifting of sanctions — but also because of the other Iranian demand for a pledge that a new deal will remain in effect even when the US administration changes.

The difficulty in this is that it is not related to America’s relationship with Iran, but to the nature of the US political system, which refuses to make any agreement or treaty binding on future administrations. At the moment, the Iranian negotiator does not want to understand this, and instead insists on pressing for a guarantee which the Biden administration cannot provide.  https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220216-why-have-the-nuclear-negotiations-with-iran-stalled/
