(Le Monde) Iran : les négociateurs de l’accord nucléaire « ont une cible dans le dos »
“M. Zarif, quant à lui, demeure relativement épargné. Le principal artisan de l’accord, l’une des personnalités les plus populaires en Iran, maintient des relations ouvertement cordiales avec des figures des gardiens, et multiplie les marques d’allégeance au Guide suprême. Mais si ses démarches pour convaincre l’Europe de rester dans l’accord échouent, « l’Iran se radicalisera contre la menace extérieure (…), et il sera naturel et nécessaire que des figures sécuritaires prennent un rôle plus important », estime Hossein Mousavian, chercheur à l’université américaine de Princeton.”

Iran to negotiate with Europeans, Russia and China about remaining in nuclear deal
A day after Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal Europe, Russia and China are pulling out all diplomatic stops to try and save it.
Iran says it’s open to staying in the nuclear deal but its leadership has also warned Iran will start enriching uranium at uncapped levels if those diplomatic talks fail.
US President Donald Trump meanwhile is not stepping back but says the US will try to negotiate a better deal.
Efforts to salvage the agreement will continue next week with Iranian officials set to meet their counterparts from France, Britain and Germany.

Iranians fear the future after Trump exits Iran nuclear deal
“Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at Princeton University who is a former spokesman for Iran in its nuclear negotiations with the West, said it was inevitable that Iranians would lose trust in the U.S. because of Trump’s decision to violate the agreement.
He predicted that the country would no longer be prepared to “engage with the U.S. to negotiate on other disputed issues like weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and the regional conflicts.”
Mousavian also suggested that Iran is now likely to turn its back on the West and instead build closer diplomatic and trade ties with Russia and China.”
