This is no surprise. The EU has been "faking" their alleged attempts to restore the JCPOA for years now, ever since Trump pulled out of the deal. Then Biden came in and "faked" the US negotiations. It's all been a joke since Day One. The deal itself was a joke, only negotiated by Obama so he could have a foreign policy "win" - after everything else he did was a disaster - and he only did it knowing that whoever came after him - whether Trump or Clinton - would tear up the deal.

I have so lost interest in the JCPOA. I spent a year at Antiwar.com responding to claims EVERY SINGLE DAY that alleged the "deal was almost done, just a few minor items" - the "minor items" being the two main goals of the deal: 1) removing sanctions, and 2) the US guaranteeing it would not pull out again. It was a farcical circus and remains so to this day and forever. Russia is wasting its time trying to get it back.
