This was announced on Wednesday, March 10, by the United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during a speech at a hearing in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Congress, the Izvestia TV channel reports.
When asked by Congressman Brad Sherman about the readiness to ease restrictions on the observance of the JCPOA or movement in negotiations with Tehran on this issue, Blinken only answered “yes”.
