A Note on Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) Articles Written by Mehran Mossadegh:

The initial articles and analysis wrote by Mehran on the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in 2015/16 were based on the assumption that the parties involved were engaged in a negotiation process. However, as Mehran continued to monitor and analyse the "negotiations" further, he encountered numerous questions regarding Iran's approach towards reaching an agreement.

Addressing these questions and conducting a thorough assessment of the political landscape in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), as reflected in his most recent articles, has led him to the conclusion that negotiation, as a tool, is not available to the IRI. In other words, expecting the Mullahs to sit down and negotiate is akin to asking a fish to climb a tree. It is simply not a tool available to them, and it holds no meaning in their language or way of life.
