‘Little To Suggest Renewed Iran N Deal As It Stands Now Will Be Durable’

NEW DELHI: The best guarantee to make sure that the U.S. is actually committed to the JCPOA (Iran N-deal) in the long run is to actually enlarge the deal to make sure that not just secondary sanctions (sanctions imposed by U.S. on other countries that trading or invest in Iran) are lifted but also primary sanctions (sanctions that prohibit American companies from going into the Iranian market) are done away with, says Dr Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Speaking to StratNews Global Associate Editor Amitabh P. Revi on ‘The Gist’, he added that if the U.S. side has a financial stake in the survival of the deal, it won’t be easy for any future American President to walk out of the deal the way President Trump did.
