In an interview with the Israeli media, President Biden set out his position on the Iran nuclear talks. As expected, these comments seem designed to please Israeli hawks opposed to the talks, and position himself as being tough on Iran.
Biden said that he is willing to kill the Iran deal entirely if it means he’s able to keep the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on the terror watchlist. US officials have repeatedly ruled out removing IRGC from the list in recent months, and have treated the deal as effectively dead as a result.
US officials have questioned this, noting that the blacklisting doesn’t do a lot of good in the first place, and that if the deal is that important this shouldn’t be a roadblock.
Despite the US positioning this as an all-or-nothing proposition, Iran has time and again said the blacklist isn’t a must have for them, and that they’re willing to make a deal without addressing that matter.
Iran wants to keep talking, and that’s been a recurring problem, because the US seems to have treated the rejection of the IRGC desisting as the end of the process, and is seemingly unwilling to address the deal further.
Then no new deal. JCPOA is doomed thanks to Trump and now Biden administrations. Our blind support for Israel is killing the US.
I must agree, further, doing anything so blindly means our eyesight is deeply impaired as is our judgement with regard to any kind of measures…
Don! We’ve found something we can agree on!
Newfound respect for you 😀
I’m always rooting for the underdog if they are fighting for their right to exist, identity, territorial integrity, and others. I find it hard to believe that Israel, after what happened to them, instead of becoming a symbol of peace and find a way to co-exist with the Palestinians, they have become the very thing that had them almost exterminated.
I place Ukraine in the same situation Palestine is (with some differences of course) and I know this is where we disagree.
But that’s ok. I’m all about open minded friendly discussions on War topics even when there is disagreement.
ByeDone does not WANT the JCPOA.
If Amerikka returned to it, it would not allow IsraHell to continue its bombings and assassinations of Iranian personnel.
Not true… Israel killed Iran scientists even before US withdrawal from the deal in 2018…! Israel does not take orders from US government…It is the other way around…!
You’re right of course.
And Iran is committed to keep CENTCOM on terror list even if US signs the nuclear deal…!
“Despite the US positioning this as an all-or-nothing proposition, Iran has time and again said the blacklist isn’t a must have for them, and that they’re willing to make a deal without addressing that matter.”
Another example of the US refusing to take “yes” for an answer because they flat ass don’t want to resurrect the deal.
There you have it. Biden lied on the campaign trail when he said he would return to the JCPOA. New boss, same as the old boss, only this one drools, can barely see the teleprompter.
