Tehran may well look to the experience of the DPRK On September 26, 2025, the UN Security Council rejected a proposed resolution on extending the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear programme. Among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the United States, Great Britain, and France voted against. China and Russia voted in favour. The vote a week earlier had the same result. The JCPOA, enshrined ...
... contained? The first reason behind the sharp escalation is, without doubt, Donald Trump’s return to office. It is well known that during his first presidency in 2018, he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA), reinstated prior sanctions and introduced new , extremely severe ones against Tehran. Trump took a hardline stance toward the Islamic regime, viewing it as a threat to human rights and regional stability. By early February of this year, he had ...
... made by Syrians themselves, no matter whether in Russia or in Iran they liked this choice or not. Finally, UN Security Council Resolution 1929 was passed fifteen years ago, in an entirely different global and regional context. Five years later, after JCPOA was signed, the restrictions of 1929 were repealed. I cannot imagine a new UN SC resolution similar to 1929 to be passed in any foreseeable future. Should Iran be worried about Trump's rapprochement with Russia? Could a deal between Trump and Russia ...
... change the course of American foreign policy towards China. However, for Iran, the outcome of the elections is of greater importance. A victory for Kamala Harris will not lead to a return to the parameters of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the 2015 “Iran nuclear deal”, but is unlikely to lead to a sharp escalation of pressure on Iran. A victory for Donald Trump, however, could result in increased pressure on Iran, given the tougher position of the Republicans on relations ...
... influence Iran, limiting the dangers it poses. The possibilities of Moscow’s influence on Tehran remain limited, though Russia is trying to show GCC countries its ability to influence the implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal. The resumption of the JCPOA as a whole is in the interests of all Gulf countries, including Iran. This is also important for Russia since it considers ensuring security in the Gulf a key regional goal. By expanding the dialogue between Iran and the GCC countries Moscow would ...
... the 2020 elections was especially anticipated in Teheran, which had experienced years of relentless economic pressure by the previous administration in Washington. However, more than a year has passed since Biden arrived into the White House, but the JCPOA still lies on the verge of a complete collapse. Despite experts remaining consistently optimistic about the ongoing negotiations in Vienna, few—if any—tangible results have been delivered so far. But, while the negotiations have more or less ...
... inevitably involved in it. The more the official nuclear powers brace for more competition with each other, the less they coordinate their efforts in stemming proliferation in the Korean peninsula, and the less they work on the return of the U.S. to the JCPOA. Meanwhile Iran is raising the enrichment of uranium to 60 percent. Is there a chance that in present circumstances the RevCon can achieve progress? There are certain elements that could help to bring it about. In the core of this lie the responsibilities ...
... other hand, the existing system of nonproliferation and arms control treaties and agreements is being a target for dismantlement or destruction efforts. The INF Treaty has been destroyed by the U.S. The future of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear programme remains unclear. We see again and again shamelessly open attempts to use the NPT as an instrument to exert political pressure or settle political scores with States. This year marks the 25th anniversary since the ...
... (SCO). The highlight of the meeting was the decision taken by the Heads of State Council of the SCO on launching the procedure of granting SCO membership to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ivan Timofeev: US Sanctions Against Iran and the Future of the JCPOA: A View From Tehran and Moscow Technically, this decision does not turn Tehran into a full-fledged SCO member, launching the accession process only. Granting full membership involves a number of agreements signed, which usually takes about two years....
... difficult to keep it The prospects for talks on an Iranian nuclear deal are becoming increasingly dim. After Democrat Joe Biden won the presidential election in the United States and was sworn in, Washington started to pursue a return to negotiating the JCPOA. The new administration aims to overcome the legacy of Donald Trump, who unilaterally broke the deal even though it was sealed by UN Security Council Resolution 2231 of 2015 . In 2018, Trump renewed the unilateral US sanctions against Iran , and ...
