US grants sanctions relief to Iran as nuke talks in balance

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Friday restored some sanctions relief to Iran’s atomic program as talks aimed at salvaging the languishing 2015 nuclear deal enter a critical phase.

As U.S. negotiators head back to Vienna for what could be a make-or-break session, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed several sanctions waivers related to Iran’s civilian nuclear activities. The move reverses the Trump administration’s decision to rescind them.

The waivers are intended to entice Iran to return to compliance with the 2015 deal that it has been violating since former President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed U.S. sanctions. Iran says it is not respecting the terms of the deal because the U.S. pulled out of it first. Iran has demanded the restoration of all sanctions relief it was promised under the deal to return to compliance.

“From a negotiating perspective, they look desperate: we’ll waive sanctions before we even have a deal, just say yes to anything!” said Rich Goldberg, a vocal deal opponent who is a senior adviser to the hawkish Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Why?

The world seems to be getting along just fine without them.

Iran’s record of compliance should be enough, but these fools seem intent on starting a war.

“They said that if we just make a little easier on them, they’ll stop.”

Biden has ensured the end of the Iranian state and a catastrophic conclusion to the Israel-Iran struggle. Israel almost assuredly will attack Iran, and it will do so while it still can. Ironically, it will have the support of most Gulf nations.

Biden is guilty of so many acts of Treason there aren’t enough firing squads to cover them all.

Biden desperately wants a “deal” of any sort, to crow about. That gives Iran the advantage. Maybe if he offers a few more pallets of gold, they might throw him an imaginary bone.

Biden foreign policy: Go easy on Iran, ignore China, confront Russia with manufactured war-mongering.

Like the Clintons, the Biden family has never cut a deal without getting something in their pocket in return.

From a negotiating perspective, they look desperate:


Just as Team 0bama was - any concession for a deal.
