Iranian President-Elect Ebrahim Raisi is prepared to set relations with Europe on the right path. While he expressed a willingness to open a constructive dialogue with European countries, the exact details are yet to be elaborated. Raisi’s primary focus will be on bolstering his country’s economy, easing sanctions, and improving the quality of life for Iranian citizens. This marks a crucial point in the Iranian-European relationship as the West is looking to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal. However, Raisi also stressed that Iran’s ballistic missile program and its regional influence are non-negotiable issues. It’s yet to see how these will impact the future diplomacy between Iran and Europe.
