Vance to lead US team

Vance to lead US team

US Vice President JD Vance will lead the US delegation for talks with Iran in Pakistan, a White House official said Sunday — shortly after President Donald Trump said he would not make the trip.Early in the day, Trump announced he was sending negotiators to Islamabad for meetings with Tehran about ending the conflict that has raged in the Middle East, with a ceasefire soon set to expire.The president however said Vance — who led the last round of talks with Tehran in Islamabad, but came away with no deal — would not make the trip, citing security concerns."It's only because of security," Trump told ABC News. "JD's great."But the White House quickly flipped the script, when asked about those comments.Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will attend the talks, a White House official told AFP on condition of anonymity.The trio were on hand last time around on April 11-12.  Related Story

A rushed US-Iran framework deal could backfire

A rushed US-Iran framework deal could backfire

European allies fear an inexperienced US negotiating team is pushing for a swift, headline-grabbing framework deal with Iran that could entrench rather than resolve deeper problems, diplomats with past experience dealing with Tehran said.They worry that Washington, eager to claim a diplomatic win for President Donald Trump, could lock in a superficial agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief, then struggle through months or years of technically complex follow-on talks.“The concern isn’t that there won’t be an agreement,” said a senior European diplomat, who has previously worked on the nuclear file or continue to do so. “It’s that there will be a bad initial agreement that creates endless downstream problems.”Diplomats from France, Britain and Germany – which began negotiating with Iran in 2003 – say that they have been sidelined.From 2013 to 2015, the three worked with the US to secure a deal on curbing Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).Trump withdrew from the accord – the signature foreign policy agreement of his predecessor Barack Obama – in 2018, during his first term, calling it “horribly one-sided”.After 40 days of airstrikes, US and Iranian negotiators opened talks in Islamabad earlier this month, again focused on the familiar trade-off of nuclear restrictions for economic relief.There were some signs in the Pakistani capital yesterday of preparations for a resumption of face-to-face negotiations.Diplomats say that deep mistrust and sharply different negotiating styles raise the risk of a fragile framework neither side can sustain politically.“It took us 12 years and immense technical work,” said Federica Mogherini, who co-ordinated the talks from 2013 to 2015. “Does anyone seriously think this can be done in 21 hours?”The diplomats said that a skeletal agreement may be achievable, built around a nuclear package and an economic package.“The Americans think you agree on three or four points in a five-page document and that’s it, but on the nuclear file, every clause opens the door to a dozen more disputes,” a second European diplomat said.Talks are focusing on Iran’s stockpile of roughly 440kg (970 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60%, material that could be used for several nuclear weapons if further enriched.The favoured option is “downblending” inside Iran under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) supervision.Another is a hybrid approach, with some material shipped abroad.“Whatever happens now is only a starting point,” said a diplomat previously involved in nuclear talks. “That’s why the 2015 JCPOA ran to 160 pages.”Beyond stockpiles lies the deeper dispute over Iran’s right to enrich uranium at all: Trump has publicly pushed for zero enrichment, while Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes and denies seeking a bomb.One possible compromise would be a temporary moratorium followed by resumption at very low levels under strict conditions.Europeans stressed that a central role for the IAEA, including intrusive verification and unrestricted access, was essential.“A negotiation with Iran is meticulous and subtle: every word matters,” said Gérard Araud, France’s chief negotiator from 2006 to 2009. “That’s not something you rush.”The economic track focuses on lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iranian assets.In the short term, Iran wants access to frozen funds overseas.Broader sanctions relief would come later and require European buy-in, diplomats said.Officials say Washington is again separating an agreement in principle from its painstaking follow-up, an approach they say risks misreading Iranian political culture.“These talks aren’t a real-estate deal settled with a handshake,” said a senior regional diplomat briefed by Tehran, referring to the background of Trump’s main negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. “They involve sequencing, sanctions relief and reciprocal nuclear steps.”“There’s simply not enough expertise in this US team,” said one European official, noting that roughly 200 diplomats, financial and nuclear experts were involved in the 2015 talks. “We’ve worked on this file for two decades.” – Reuters
