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.”

Talk about election manipulation. A nuclearized Iran appears to be an administration objective.
So biden is subservient to iran. Not really much of a surprise, seeing that he sent them 10 billion dollars.
Obammy and biden both did all they could to make iran nuclear. And what do you think iran is going to do with the nukes? Bomb Israel, of course.
And what will biden get in return? Probably 2-3 mansions that will mysteriously appear after he leaves office.
Valerie Jarret anyone? Obama’s Iranian henchwoman puppeteer in the WH shadows.
What a pussy administration. Iran’s nuclear facilities and their bomb making objective should have been destroyed years ago. Instead, the BribeMe admin is giving the barbarians exactly what they want. They see weakness and that gives them more incentive to destroy us. Idiots.
The aim is not to escalate tensions with Iran before the election? As such, it’s to Iran’s benefit to make sure that, Biden has a chance to be elected, and hen, Biden will approve or not do anything to stop Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. In fact, that has been the goal of Obama’s administration and Biden’s. Iran will develop nuclear weapons, and biden is actually helping them do so, as a continuation of Obama’s goal.
Tensions will heat up to world-changing levels when Iran does get its hands on nuclear weapons, and bigger wars will be inevitable in the middle-east, since Israel will have none of it, and the U.S. will have to get involved in those wars. Biden is calling for big conflicts (perhaps even WW3) by not stopping Iran when it’s still possible to do so. A terrorist regime with nuclear weapons puts the whole world at risk.
Don’t forget John Kerry whose daughter is married to an Iranian national.
These people are not on our side.
The biden maladministration is significantly influenced (run?) by obama iranian lovers who are hate-America traitors.
President Biden has put multiple billions into Iranian coffers.
Trump should declare to voters “IF you want to elect traitors who hate this nation, th3n elect another democrat. IF however you love this nation, and are sick and tired of our nation funding terrorism, then be sure to vote for me because i will put an end to such a betrayal “!
The $10 billion is chump change. Not enforcing the sanctions funnels close to $100 billion into Iranian coffers.
Obama.
the Black President Barack Obama raises his corrupt head. He issues the statement to protect his kickback income from Iran
I try with all my might to discern what could possibly be the upside, or the attraction, or the affinity, of the brocko-cadaver people for being Iran boosters.
It is reminiscent, for me, of my wonderment at what could possibly be the attraction of meth, or fentanyl, when the users have all been apprised of the devastating effects.
This is why, once again, the Arab states will be hoping that Trump wins.
How did VJ ever pass the FBI security clearance?
Probably because it was never done on most of Obama’s staff.
-—How?-—
Money changed hands
What’s the big deal.”biden” is merely colluding with countries that hate America.
The treasonous, criminal monkeyshines would be impossible without those two flying under the radar, and setting up the 'particulars' for “O’Bozo” and Joe.
