The US may agree to concessions outside the scope of the nuclear agreement if Iran drops its demand to take the Revolutionary Guards of the State Department's list of terrorist organizations, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

According to the report, Iran's insistence on lifting the designation has resulted in the negotiations on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal being placed on hold, despite finalizing all the provisions.
The report quoted Western diplomats as saying that the EU coordinator for the talks Enrique Mora, who has served as a go-between for the US since it is not officially party to the deal, hopes to travel to Iran in order to salvage the talks.
According to the report, "Mr. Mora will try to persuade Iran to sign off on a final text of the agreement without the foreign terrorist designation and leave that issue to a future point."
According to recent reports, the US is willing to drop the designation of the IRGC if Iran agrees to publicly state it would not target US officials. Tehran has refused to do so, in part because it is determined to hit back at the US over the assassination of IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimaini in 2020 by the Trump administration.
The report further said, based on what the diplomats said, that "if Iran comes back with a demand for a US concession on another issue, Washington will consider that. However, the diplomats also say there can be no broad renegotiation of the deal."
