Joe Biden's US takes another step forward, yesterday on the third day of negotiations in Vienna with Iran, aiming to return to the nuclear agreement, JCPOA. A turning point that Israel does not like, which has always been threatened by Iran with being razed to the ground with an atomic bomb. On Friday, Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, the Israeli secret service, flew to Washington. The fear is not only the easing of sanctions against Iran but also the approach of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with Tehran. Islamic Republic Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed KhatibzadehTeheran said: "Two important countries of the region and of the Islamic world could open a new chapter of commitment and cooperation through a constructive dialogue to achieve peace, stability and development in the region by overcoming disputes".
Cohen broke every protocol rule by meeting US President Biden directly. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sent Cohen but also National Security Advisor Meir Ben Shabat to Washington. Cohen expressed to Biden Israel's firm opposition to an exhumation of the JCPOA, now considered buried by Tel Aviv. Israel is concerned that the Vienna meetings are producing unexpected results. Apparently, some economic sanctions in favor of the Islamic Republic could be withdrawn as early as 18 June.
The satisfaction of the progress in the negotiations also in a tweet by the Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif: "Positive signs on the horizon". Zarif was also recently in the Gulf for a number of high-level meetings. A tour that Iran's ultra-conservative supreme leader, theAyatollah Ali Khamenei. In fact, within the Islamic Republic, the competition between the government's Westernists and the conservatives who rely on the spiritual guide is very strong and it is not certain that the castle set up in Vienna and in the Gulf can fall at any moment, undermined by the very powerful Israelis and by the religious wing of Tehran who want to preserve the status quo.
