Let’s see: the nation that constantly chants “death to America” hated Donald Trump, but loved Barack Obama with Joe Biden as VP, and is now happy that Joe (most likely) won
Iran’s president calls on Biden to return to nuclear deal
Iran’s president called on President-elect Joe Biden to “compensate for past mistakes†and return the U.S. to Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, a state-run news agency reported Sunday.
Hassan Rouhani’s comments mark the highest-level response from Iran to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris clinching the Nov. 3 election.
“Now, an opportunity has come up for the next U.S. administration to compensate for past mistakes and return to the path of complying with international agreements through respect of international norms,†the state-run IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.
Under President Donald Trump, tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated, reaching a fever pitch earlier this year. One of Trump’s signature foreign policy moves was unilaterally withdrawing the U.S. from Iran’s nuclear deal in 2018, which had seen Tehran limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Yes, limit. Because the deal allows Iran to resume attempting to make nuclear weapons in under 10 years from now. Obama gave Iran hundreds of billions of dollars, and through the relaxation and removal of sanctions allowed the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorist and an avowed hater of the U.S. to garner even more money for their operations.
Also Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif tweeted that “the world is watching†to see if the new Biden administration would depart from Trump’s approach toward Iran and seek international cooperation.
You mean the approach of not coddling Iran? Will China Joe help Iran? We’ll see, but, you can pretty much bet that Joe will return to the deal (a former aid says he will), for which Iran will demand more since Trump took us out of it, and Joe will give them what they want.
