BERLIN—The Biden administration is pressing European allies to back off plans to rebuke Iran for advances in its nuclear program as it seeks to keep tensions with Tehran from escalating before the autumn’s U.S. presidential election, according to diplomats involved in discussions.
The U.S. is arguing against an effort by Britain and France to censure Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s member state board in early June, the diplomats said. The U.S. has pressed a number of other countries to abstain in a censure vote, saying that is what Washington will do, they said.
U.S. officials deny lobbying against a resolution.
The differences are emerging as Western officials’ concerns have deepened about Iran’s nuclear activities. Iran has enough highly enriched fissile material for three nuclear weapons, according to IAEA data.
Some U.S. officials say they fear Iran could be more volatile as the country moves toward elections for a new leader after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash earlier this month. The Biden administration has long said it is seeking a diplomatic solution on Iran’s nuclear program.
European diplomats have warned that failure to take action would undermine the authority of the IAEA, which polices nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. They say it also weakens the credibility of Western pressure on Iran. And they are frustrated over what they see as U.S. efforts to undermine their approach.
A U.S. official said Washington is “tightly coordinated” with its European partners ahead of the IAEA board meeting next month: “Any speculation about decisions is premature.”

Biden Administration Presses Allies to Allow Iran to Get a Working Nuclear Weapon Ready to Use on Israel.
That has been the objective of the Coup d’etat leaders in America since 2008. You know, Barry, Valerie, John, Eric and Susan!
Of course. They want Israel to be at the US’ mercy and do what they want them to do. A nuclear Iran puts all the cards in the US’s hands to manipulate Israel and the Middle East.
“Don’t”
We can’t have Armageddon unless Iran has nukes.
So . . . what the US [Biden] wants is what SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!
Iran has repeated announced which country, cities it will drop its nuclear bombs on FIRST
and it isn’t Arabia, UAE, or Israel
it is USA
so naturally, Biden is working hard to defend and protect the Iranian nuclear bomb building program
ps: all those long-range ICBM’s Iran is building to deliver its nuclear bombs...aren’t needed to reach Arabia or Jerusalem. They’re obviously for reaching the big USA cities Iran has listed as its primary nuclear targets
