Meanwhile, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House National Security Council reiterated on Wednesday, June 10, that the 'JCPOA' is currently not on the agenda for the United States and has been deprioritized. John Kirby emphasized: "Iranian officials and their representatives have never negotiated in good faith and have shown no willingness to move in this direction, so nothing has changed, but we want to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons." The U.S. Secretary of State also expressed concern on Thursday, June 11, during a meeting with his British, German, and French counterparts about the escalation of Iran's nuclear activities. This meeting took place on the sidelines of the NATO Foreign Ministers' meeting in Oslo, Norway. Ali Vaez: Iran is closer to nuclear weapons than ever before, and its program is opaque.
