Biden Administration Starts Laying Groundwork to Return to the Iran Deal
The Biden administration has made no secret of wanting to return to the idiotic JCPOA. Remember that this was the deal, negotiated by John Kerry, that released prisoners that posed a real danger to the US.
The Obama administration hid the fact that the men it let off the hook as part of a prisoner swap with Iran had been accused of supplying sensitive military equipment and electronics that could help Tehran’s nuclear program, it was reported Monday.
Under the January 2016 deal, the US released seven prisoners and dropped its cases against 14 fugitives in exchange for Iran’s release of captive Americans, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Politico reported.
It also gave plane loads of cash to the Mullahs that were in desperate need for the infusion.
On Sunday, the newly appointed Secretary of State, Antony Blinken started to make the case for returning the US to the agreement.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that Iran was currently months away from being able to produce enough material to build a nuclear weapon. And, he said, that timeframe could be reduced to “a matter of weeks” if Tehran further violates restrictions it agreed to under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
In an interview with NBC News, Blinken reiterated the Biden administration’s intention to return to the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if Iran resumes compliance first.
So, its just a matter of weeks now. Once again we are being told to believe that because of our mad negotiating skills, Iran will put off its deadly ambitions. Of course they wouldn’t lie. Remember how truthful they were the last time.
I don’t understand why we would believe Iran when they say they will uphold a deal restricting their nuke program, but we don’t believe them when they chant “Death to America.”
