Ahead of the fourth round of talks between the United States and Iran, a senior State Department official questioned whether Tehran was prepared to let go of its “unrealistic demands.”
“They have yet to agree to the steps that they would have to take to come back into commitment” with the JCPOA, the official said, in reference to the 2015 nuclear deal signed under the Obama administration.

The official said talks had been constructive so far but also voiced some skepticism over whether the US would still be “faced with unrealistic demands by Iran” of lifting certain sanctions and “unrealistic commitments by them [Iran].”
“The gaps are there,” the official said, adding that there was a possibility to reach a deal if Iran expressed “seriousness” in doing so.
The fourth round of talks will take place this week and into the weekend, where Special Envoy Rob Malley will head the US delegation.
