Talks to save 2015 deal now on brink of collapse as Tehran also accused of testing missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons
Iran has been accused of making “maximalist demands” in the latest unsuccessful round of talks on reviving the nuclear non-proliferation deal at a grave session of the UN security council in which it was widely acknowledged the talks – and the whole 2015 deal – were now on the brink of collapse.
Iranian and US officials, with the EU acting as mediators, held two days of talks in Doha in a bid to break a months-long impasse, but no progress was made on Iran’s central demand that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps be removed from US sanctions and its list of foreign terrorist organisations.
