The United States is prepared to make difficult decisions to return Iran’s nuclear program to its JCPOA limits, the State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Monday.

A deal to restore the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear program is not imminent, but Washington is prepared to take “difficult decisions” to make it happen, Price told reporters at the daily news briefing.

He said the key US negotiator, Rob Malley, has not returned to Vienna to resume the most recent round of negotiations.

Price said there has been significant progress in the nuclear talks in recent weeks, but he said “I want to be clear that an agreement is neither imminent nor is it certain.”

“And in fact, we are preparing equally for scenarios with and without a mutual return to full implementation of the JCPOA.”

“President Biden has made a commitment that Iran, under his watch, will not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, and that commitment is as true and sturdy in a world in which we have a JCPOA and one in which we don’t,” Price added.
