Former US negotiator on Iran talks
The article compared the memorandum of understanding that the United States signed with Iran in 2013 within the framework of the "Joint Plan of Action" (JPOA) with the 2015 agreement known as the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" (JCPOA). It explained that the Versailles Memorandum was limited in scope and focused on key issues such as nuclear ambitions and the lifting of sanctions, as a strategy to avoid comprehensive negotiations that might have been hindered by the complexities of the Iranian dispute. The article also pointed out that the imprecise formulation of Trump's recent memo and the expansion of issues could make it more difficult to reach an understanding. It suggested that Washington could learn from previous negotiations, which were partially successful in de-escalating tensions and reducing risks. In conclusion, the study of the 2013 agreement highlights the importance of defining a clear scope for negotiations to achieve tangible results.
