With Joe Biden the warning can only fall on deaf ears, as he’s determined to revive Obama’s Iran Deal.
Last week, the Israeli government warned President Biden that the new U.S. approach to Iran, seeking to revive former president Obama’s 2015 nuclear weapons deal with the ayatollahs, is exceedingly dangerous. The Israelis warn of a “less for less” deal in which we would offer Iran some relief from our economic sanctions in return for some reduction in their development of nuclear weapons.
To understand how bad this deal or any other deal to revive the Obama agreement would be, we have to remind ourselves about the agreement and what has happened so far.
The 2015 deal, which was supposed to last ten years, provided that U.S. and UN economic sanctions against Iran would be terminated. Iran, in return, would allow inspection of its nuclear sites by the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, wouldn’t exceed in running more than a certain number of uranium enrichment centrifuges or enrich uranium past the 3.67 percent level, or build or operate heavy water nuclear plants. Disagreements were supposed to be resolved by arbitration.
