Iran could 'trigger a serious crisis' in the near future if a last-ditch effort to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal fails, according to a senior French official.
“Political decisions are needed from the Iranians,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told French lawmakers on Wednesday."Either they trigger a serious crisis in the coming days, or they accept the agreement which respects the interests of all parties.”
The Biden administration, however, has struggled to maintain even internal unity about the deal, as State Department special envoy for Iran Robert Malley’s top deputy quit the administration in recent weeks. Nephew declined to elaborate on the cause of his departure, but Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, warned U.S. officials not to “allow Iran to threaten us into a bad deal or an interim agreement that allows it to continue to build its nuclear capacity” in a floor speech that saw him call for an intensification of international sanctions on the regime.
