Blinken: Restoration of Iran nuclear deal has not been on agenda

Reviving the Iran nuclear deal is currently off the negotiating table between Washington and Tehran, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

"With regard to the JCPOA, the Iranians killed the opportunity to come back to that agreement swiftly many months ago. There was an opportunity on the table that they rejected, an opportunity that was approved by all who were involved – the Europeans, the United States, Russia, and China even at the time. And so, the JCPOA has not been on the agenda as a practical matter for many months now. It's not our focus."

He noted that they are focused on what's happening in Iran:

"We're focused on what Iran is doing in terms of the provision of weapons to Russia to use against innocent people and the entire energy grid in Ukraine. And, of course, we're focused on its other destabilizing activities throughout the region."
