US Iran envoy: If Iran doesn’t cooperate on IAEA probe, there won’t be a deal

The Biden administration’s Iran envoy Robert Malley says that if Iran continues to insist on the UN watchdog ending its probe, there will be no nuclear deal.
“Iran has raised, or resurrected, an issue completely separate from the JCPOA, from the nuclear deal, having to do with the investigation of the discovery of traces uranium particles that Iran owes an explanation for,” Malley tells Israel’s Channel 12 in an interview, saying it’s a technical issue.
“Either Iran resolves it by cooperating with the IAEA or it won’t be resolved,” he says. “If that’s the position that Iran sticks to there can’t be a deal,” Malley says.
