US must guarantee it will not leave nuclear deal again, says Iran

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : He pointed to Iranian "research and development on the production of uranium metal; the enrichment of uranium first at 20% since the beginning of the year and then at a rate of 60%, without there being any civilian need in Iran for such enrichment rates; accumulation of advanced centrifuges in enrichment facilities, etc.
44% : Speaking at a UN security council meeting, the French envoy to the UN, Nicolas De Rivière, said Iran had come closer than ever to a nuclear threshold during the three months of talks, and that the negotiations could not be allowed to drag on indefinitely.
42% : As a result, Iran today has never been so close to a threshold capacity".
41% : It is now likely the talks will not recommence until Iran is satisfied that it has the guarantees it requires or compromises on its demand.
39% : Nor could Washington be left reliant on UN approval to leave the deal if it believed Tehran was flouting its terms because that would in effect make US policy subject to a Russian veto at the UN security council, they said.
38% : In a further complication, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Iran said he backed an investigation of Raisi's involvement in the mass killing of Iranian prisoners in 1988.
37% : Most details have been agreed, but no date has been set for a seventh round as Iran prepares for its new hardline president, Ebrahim Raisi, to take office and possibly appoint a new foreign minister more hostile to the US than the incumbent Mohammad Javad Zarif.
35% : Robertson was asked in 2010 to conduct an independent investigation into the killing of the prisoners, regarded as terrorists and traitors by Tehran.
34% : His comments are the clearest official signal yet that disagreements between the US and Iran on how such a guarantee might be constructed remain a serious obstacle.
