WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says it's ready to join talks with Iran and world powers to discuss a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, in a sharp repudiation of former President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure campaign” that sought to isolate the Islamic Republic.
The administration also took two steps at the United Nations aimed at restoring policy to what it was before Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018. The combined actions were immediately criticized by Iran hawks and drew concern from Israel, which said it was committed to keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Besides signaling Thursday a willingness to talk with Iran, the administration also reversed Trump’s determination that all U.N. sanctions against Iran had been restored. And, it eased stringent restrictions on the domestic travel of Iranian diplomats posted to the United Nations.
The State Department announced the moves following discussions between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his British, French and German counterparts and as Biden prepares to participate, albeit virtually, in his first major international events with world leaders.
The announcement came a day before Biden is to speak to leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized democracies and later in the day address the annual Munich Security Conference. At both Friday, Biden is expected to discuss his commitment to multilateral diplomacy and his desire to undo damage that Trump's positions may have caused over the previous four years.

You give them too much credit.
I don’t think their thinking goes any further then “Trump did this, so we must do the opposite. Besides there’s likely money in doing the opposite!”
“Biden prepares to participate virtually, with world leaders.”
The cabal stole the 2020 election could easily use readily available cgi tech to have somebody else play the role of “US ‘President’” Biden.
Iran has Biden by his grey short hairs. He has to restore the deal or oil prices will skyrocket & crash our economy.
“Pure evil to reward Iranians for supporting terrorists and being anti-US.”
What’s behind the difference between the conservative and liberal approach to Iran, Israel, etc.
Here’s what I read somewhere:
The question is, what will it take to stabilize the Middle East? Conservatives think Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc., can provide stability. Liberals think Iran must be central to the stability because Israel, etc., aren’t powerful enough to get the job done.
There can no longer be any doubt that owebama and the evil ValJar are the puppet masters behind China Joe. This will not end well, not well at all.
Continuing his work at reinstalling all of the absolute least popular and most disliked of Obama’s policies.
Did anything happen in the past 5 years that suggest we need to have anything to do with Iran?
Get the frig out of China.
Fire up the War Machine, kickstart the Military Industrial Complex into High Gear, get the bombers in the air, we got bribes,kickbacks and graff to collect from our military contractor buddies,...
Biden doesn’t seem to grasp the importance and intent of the phrase, “Death to America”.
20% for The Big Guy.
Disaster !!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It’s why he’s in the hack business.
bammy bowed down in submission to iran, giving them their “deal” and cash. biden too is willing to give the state sponsors of terrorism anything they want.
Both bammy and uncle joe are traitors to this country.
No doubt he’ll sign our unconditional surrender
Not sure what to say to that other than I would not invite Iran to any table while they promote terror and anti-US and anti-Israel actions. “Death to America” is not a good peace conference slogan.
Nice, if world politics can be done virtually, then all those jackwads up on Capitol Hill need to work from home and only meet a few times a year in DC.
Give us back our Capitol and make it easier to meet with our representatives.
“I would not invite Iran to any table”
Neither would I. The key to Iran being constructive is a change in their leadership.
“Peace for our time”...
It’s almost like watching Satan stepping in trying to bring about the big showdown in the Middle East (and with God). And like Satan, Biden doesn’t seem to understand how all this will turn out.
