WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th May, 2021) The United States and Iran can reach a deal and return to compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) prior to Iran's upcoming June 18 elections if Tehran is prepared to cooperate, a senior US State Department official said on Thursday.

"Is it possible to get a deal before the Iranian elections? Absolutely," the official said. "If Iran makes that political determination that it is not going to ask more from the United States in terms of sanctions relief than, what a return to compliance with the JCPOA requires, and it's not going to do less in terms of its nuclear commitment than a return to compliance requires, then that could be done relatively quickly."
