Iran’s top security official accused the U.S. of delaying political decisions needed to revive a key nuclear deal, highlighting the tensions that continue to bedevil talks despite claims by all sides that an agreement is near.
Without giving details, Ali Shamkhani said the Islamic Republic is looking for “new initiatives” from all parties to quickly reach an agreement over how to restore the beleaguered 2015 accord that had capped Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
