Iran says it's ready for new nuclear deal but asks if US is

Firstpost  

In exchange for agreeing to the terms of the new nuclear deal, Iran would receive relief on economic sanctions and be given greater access to global financial markets and the flow of US dollars New York: Iran’s president insisted Wednesday that his country is serious about reviving a deal meant to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear bomb but questioned whether Tehran could trust America’s commitment to any eventual accord. In exchange for agreeing to the terms of the new nuclear deal, Iran would receive relief on economic sanctions and be given greater access to global financial markets and the flow of U.S. dollars. “There is a great and serious will to resolve all issues” in the nuclear talks, Raisi said, but he added: “Our wish is only one thing: observance of commitments.” “Can we truly trust without guarantees and assurances that they will this time live up to their commitment?” he asked of the U.S. Swings in American foreign policy with successive administrations have concerned not only Iran, but also U.S. allies who have questioned America’s reliability and its commitment to agreements, ranging from climate to security. Meanwhile, Western sanctions, which Raisi described as a “punishment on the people of Iran,” have eaten away at Iran’s reserves, exacerbated inflation, and devalued Iran’s currency against the U.S. dollar.
