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.
