(Iranian Presidency Office via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:35 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, June 10, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Iran has ramped up its demands ahead of the next round of negotiations over renewal of the nuclear deal. The Biden administration has continued to push for the restoration of the Iran Nuclear Deal in the face of direct opposition from key U.S. ally Israel.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said the next round of talks in the Austrian capital of Vienna are set to kick off this coming weekend. Sherman highlighted the negotiations are being overshadowed by the upcoming June 18 elections in Iran, which are widely predicted to result in the replacement of President Hassan Rouhani with a hardline candidate.<\/p>\n<p>According to Iranian officials and analysts, the shift is likely to result in an even less flexible stance on the part of Tehran\u2019s\u2019 negotiators, who are already calling for the U.S. to fully lift all sanctions on the Islamic republic as a precondition of a return to the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not easy to trust America again. That\u2019s why Iran is saying that you lift sanctions, because when you suspend, you can always go back,\u201d political analyst Fuad Izadi explained. \u201cThis time, we want to see some action. We just don\u2019t want to accept your move.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;The Wilting of State Department Discourse on Iran Nuclear Deal&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ozboZeTGcG\">https:\/\/t.co\/ozboZeTGcG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P5B9gujuns\">pic.twitter.com\/P5B9gujuns<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UANI (@UANI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UANI\/status\/1402741291616804869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Iran holds the 2018 withdrawal and reimposition of sanctions by the U.S. to justify its move away from compliance, despite the lack of justification for this argument in international law as the deal. Yet, the Maximum Pressure Campaign initiated by the Trump administration was broadly effective in reducing Tehran\u2019s\u2019 capability to project power abroad by limiting its access to funds critical to its overseas operations and support of proxy militant groups.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Iranian analysts explicitly recognize the efficacy of U.S. sanctions in limiting Iran\u2019s\u2019 power and curtailing its efforts at international destabilization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say that they want a longer and stronger deal. Longer means they want to change some of the articles in the agreement. Stronger means they want to go beyond the nuclear agreement,\u201d Izadi declared. \u201cSo Iran\u2019s foreign policy, they want to have a say. Iran\u2019s defense policy, they want to have a say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the shift away from a strong pressure strategy and focus on the so-called soft power favored by the Biden administration has created the conditions for Iran to reassert itself as a significant source of regional instability and its renewed pursuit of a nuclear weapon. Although Biden administration officials have not conceded this point outright by their own admission, the last few months have been characterized by a bolder Iran steadily racing towards full nuclear power status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we do know unfortunately, meanwhile, its program is galloping forward. It has lifted restraints imposed on it by the agreement, including the amount of enriched material it has,\u201d Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned. \u201cMaterial that in some cases is enriched up to 20% and even a small amount up to 60%. It has started to deploy some more advanced centrifuges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to steadfastly hold on to the idea of renewing the deal, even as Iran inches ever closer to possession of the weapons the Ayatollah regime believes are vital to its ambitions for regional domination.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/reports-crime-filth-fear-at-bidens-border-camps\/\">Reports: Crime, Filth &amp; Fear At Biden\u2019s Border Camps<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Hassan Rouhani speaks in a cabinet meeting in Tehran, Iran.
