WSJ learned of increased US pressure on Iran to renew the JCPOA

According to the newspaper, USAintend to impose sanctions against companies in the UAE,exporting significant volumes of Iranian oil under the guise of Iraqi

Washington may soon impose sanctions against a businessman and a number of companies from the UAE, which, according to the United States, are engaged in "mixing" and transshipment of oil products from Iran. Thus, the United States intends to influence Iran and force it to return to negotiations on the resumption of "nuclear deals," reports The Wall Street Journal.

According to the newspaper, US law enforcement agencies suspect several companies in the UAE of forging documents on the origin of oil supplied to the country. Thus, Iranian oil was marked in the documents as Iraqi, the supply of which is not under Washington's sanctions.

Sanctions will continue to escalate until "the Iranians accept the proposal and return to the JCPOA," a senior administration official for US President Joe Biden told the WSJ.

Iraqi-born British and UAE citizen Salim Ahmed Saeed and the corporation AISSOT associated with him are behind the operations involving the transshipment of Iranian oil, U.S. military sources told the newspaper. Said himself denied any connection with the company.

Reuters learned about the decrease in the chances of a nuclear deal between Iran and the United States Politics

In 2015, Iran, the United States, Russia , France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The states participating in the deal agreed not to impose sanctions against Tehran in exchange for its refusal to develop nuclear weapons, limit the degree of uranium enrichment and access of IAEA inspectors to Iran's nuclear facilities.

Washington in 2018 during the presidency of Donald Trump withdrew from the deal, citing Tehran's violation of the agreements. Iran responded by enriching uranium above the permitted level.

In the fall of 2021, US President Joe Biden announced his readiness to return to compliance with the terms of the nuclear deal if Iran takes similar steps. Negotiations between the parties took place in Doha at the end of June. The American side was represented by Special Envoy Robert Malley, while the Iranian side was represented by Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani. The political director of the EU Foreign Service Enrique Mora acted as the coordinator.

Mora said on June 30 that the parties had made no progress following the talks, Reuters reported. According to the Iranian agency IRNA, Iran considered the approach of the West to the negotiations "inadequate". Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi noted that untrue accusations were made against Tehran, since the IAEA confirms the transparency and peaceful orientation of the country's nuclear program.
