U.S. Presidential Candidate: The JCPOA is Obsolete and Unsuitable for the Present Era

Robert Kennedy, the Democratic presidential candidate in the United States, referred to the JCPOA as 'obsolete and unsuitable for the present era' and tweeted that achieving lasting peace in the Middle East is guaranteed through 'strengthening and enhancing relations between Israel and Iran.' The nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy also wrote: 'Protecting Israel and supporting the people of Iran' and 'preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons' is essential. According to Robert Kennedy, the issue of 'preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is non-negotiable.' He emphasized the need for continuous vigilance and stringent verification measures. The 69-year-old Democrat, who intends to run in the 2024 elections, acknowledged the 'historical responsibility' of the United States in regional tensions, stating: 'I am committed to redefining international behavior under U.S. leadership and recognize the operations of regime changes, coups, and support for authoritarian regimes in Iran and other nations as effective factors in the current situation.' As a potential rival to Joe Biden in next year's elections, the nephew of John F. Kennedy aims to create 'new standards' for international relations, which would bring about 'lasting peace in the Middle East' and address America's 'historical mistakes.' The U.S. states that the JCPOA is not on the agenda; the Islamic Republic claims that nuclear negotiations are ongoing. The former head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization stated: 'We did not dismantle the JCPOA, but we produced uranium metal.' The White House: 'Our policy regarding Iran has not changed; having open channels for dialogue is important.' Barbara Leaf: 'The JCPOA is no longer 'on the table' as it once was.' Reuters: An American official denied the claim of 'indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. over a temporary agreement.'
