Another Foreign Policy Catastrophe in the Works? Iran Deal Reportedly Close

5 Mar 2022 ~~ By Rebecca Downs
In the midst of war in Ukraine, another foreign policy catastrophe under President Joe Biden's watch may be brewing. A Fox News report from Friday cited a European diplomat in sharing a deal to restore the Iran nuclear agreement from 2015 would be revived within days. This comes after Iran's chief negotiator told reporters on Thursday that a deal would be done within 24-48 hours. As if this weren't bad enough, Russia is still involved in the deal, after having just invaded Ukraine last week.
As Rich Edson and Adam Shaw noted in their Fox News report:
As for the question of Russian diplomats negotiating in Vienna during a European flight embargo on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, the diplomat told Fox that there can always be exceptions for diplomats.​
With Russia’s involvement in the deal, it raises the possibility of financial benefit for Moscow in a new deal, like payments to take Iranian uranium. The diplomat told Fox that the West will find a way to enable the deal, and says the concerns are "nothing that can’t be overcome."​
The State Department did not comment when asked whether the Biden administration has concerns about needing Russia’s cooperation or having to carve out sanctions to enable to agreement.
The United States left the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018, under then President Donald Trump. Negotiations have seen been in place for the United States to reenter under the Biden administration.
Writing for The Wall Street Journal on Saturday, Lauren Norman explained that Russia is inserting itself into the deal to make "Fresh demands," which could "derail" the talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday made demands for written guarantees that sanctions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine won't prevent Russia from trading with Tehran under a revived pack.
~Snip~
The Biden administration is seemingly failing on taking more concrete action with Russia. In addition to being slow to sanctions, despite pleadings from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to impose them sooner, the United States under Biden is hesitant to stop importing oil from Russia.
This is despite a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday showing that 80 percent of Americans are in favor of such a ban on Russian oil, from all sides of the political aisle.
Even Democratic members have gotten involved in introducing bipartisan legislation as the Biden administration fails to act. On Thursday, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced the Ban Russian Energy Imports Act in the U.S. Senate. Companion legislation is forthcoming from Reps. Fitzpatrick and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Commentary:
Once again, the Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats are playing, "look squirrel". While America and the world are watching what's going on in the Ukraine, Biden and his State Dept., are working on the JCPOA and preparing to sell out America once again with Iran.
Will Biden approve Iran's development of a nuke, in exchange for oil? Will he do anything but encourage American oil production. Biden has wrecked U.S. Oil production since his 1st day in office, as he promised.
Next, on to China's invasion of Taiwan and other strategic Pacific positions. Just imagine the disasters yet to come. This was a high price to pay for getting rid of "MEAN TWEETS".
Iranians with nukes and now the Taliban is the best armed terrorist group in history.
Did I understand it properly the other day, that part of the settlement requires another $9 billion dollar payment to Iran?
It seemed connected to some claim by Iran and was tied to the release of several American nationals.
Remember when Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrat Commies kept telling us
"If you vote for Trump, His friend Putin will start WW3"​
"If you vote for Trump, Iran will get a nuke"​
"If you vote for Trump, the US Economy will collapse followed by the World economy"​
"If you vote for Trump, he will withhold aid to Ukraine."​
Well, that is what our 46th President Joseph Robinette Biden is doing at this very moment. It certainly. PM/DSA Democrat Commies are doing the exact things they accused Trump of doing.
 
last thing you want is severe sanctions (even on the top 1%, mind you) to spiral out of control.

so the rest of 'geopolitical business' *should* remain unaffected.

i for one am VERY happy to see the Iran Nuclear Deal revived.

but ehm, major news media can keep doing *it's* "thing" : report news through the color-tinted lenses of it's target audiences...
*that*, i wouldn't *want* to touch. seems vital to keeping the world spinning around the sun properly ;)

If you vote for tramp, you are not a citizen of the US.
 
The tramp being Kamala I presume.
Republicans really aren't the smartest of the pack, these days..
You're proving it.
You might want to consider a different hobby.

And the days of men slapping women are far behind us too.
The same should be true for verbal slapping on forums.
(i'm gonna make an effort to see it become true, right here on this forum).

I am expecting the worst
 
Which of course is why you whined
you talk of a fight in the ring, while this is clearly a streetfight. no gloves, no rules, multiple opponents even, right?


(links into a youtube channel)
my own personal style, as part of my media career. this career is currently frozen, btw.
please note : this is only the "judo" level of the art that is cheetah kung-fu. i know the special forces tricks of martial arts too.

so who is the whiner and the loser here? you are.

Russia and Iran Taunt Biden in Humiliating Revival of Nuclear Deal

5 Mar 2022 ~~ By Andrew McCarthy
Last week, I posited that the Biden administration was soft-pedaling SWIFT sanctions because it does not want to discuss why the United States is not in a position to boot Russia from the telecommunication system that facilitates global commerce and finance: The United States government has willfully entangled itself in dependence on Putin’s regime. This is particularly so in the realms of energy and foreign relations.
It hasn’t taken long for a textbook example of this idiocy to leap to the fore.
As NR’s editors have noted this week (and this is Biden idiocy to the nth degree), the administration is desperate to forge a new and “improved” version of Obama’s disastrous Iran nuclear deal. There is no good reason for this; it is yet another case of “because Trump reversed something that Obama did, Biden must reinstate it.” It doesn’t matter how apparent it is that Trump reversed the deal because it was both reckless and unpopular or even that the recklessness of reinstating it will make Biden more unpopular.
Tehran understands this well, and in its “Death to America” contempt for our feckless government, humiliates Biden by refusing to meet directly with his envoy, appeasement aficionado Rob Malley.
Biden is cutting a deal that would have Iran park its enriched uranium in Russia — with the proviso that Iran gets the uranium back if Putin and the mullahs decide the U.S. has not held up its end of Biden’s boneheaded bargain.
~Snip~
So, as you’d expect, today, Russia’s foreign minister Sergei (This-is-even-more-fun-than-picking-Hillary’s-pocket) Lavrov demanded written guarantees from the Biden administration that its Ukraine-related sanctions will not interfere with the Russian commerce with Iran and other nations that is central to the operation of the JCPOA.
What a perfect storm of American amateur hour and embarrassment. And what an inexcusable blow to American national security.

Commentary:
Andrew McCarthy clearly explains just how awful Biden's new Iran nuclear deal is.
I am saddened that so many low information voters have no idea that Biden is creating yet another disaster for the world.
The Quisling MSM will not pay much attention to the truths that McCarthy has shared.
Although our Congress is not involved, they should inform their constituents (The People) that the Biden deal with Iran should be canceled.
What is the US getting, other than a future opportunity to be blackmailed or attacked by the mullahs' nukes?
For a minute there I thought giving Iran pallets of cash was bad. I’m sure glad Vlad has cleared that up.
Biden re-instituting the nuclear deal with Iran is not good.
Biden has upped the payoff ante to 9 billion dollars. What could go wrong?
 

Russian Negotiator Brags About What Iran Got in New Deal as Biden Sells Us Down River Again

7 Mar 2022 ~~ By Nick Arama
I’m not sure anyone could have done worse than Joe Biden has done in office so far.
I wrote the other day that Biden was very close to a decision in a new Iran deal that, by reports, was a reprehensible deal that could put our safety at risk. We also reported how former State Department official Gabriel Noronha was warning about what was to come in the deal to see if Congress could stop what he called the “capitulation.” Noronha said the deal was “much, much worse than the original.” He said three top diplomats had quit over what the Biden Administration negotiator Robert Malley was doing, that these were career staff or Biden appointees, so that tells you how awful it must be.
~Snip~
A lot of the sanctions on some of the “worst terrorists and torturers” and the IRGC are going to be lifted, according to Noronha. So not only will Iran have a path to a nuclear weapon, but they’ll have everything they want, all courtesy of Joe Biden.
Now there’s more indication of just how bad that might be. As we noted, while Biden is claiming they’re cutting the Russians off, the Russians and the Chinese are both involved in the new Iran Deal. The Russian negotiator involved, Mikhail Ulyanov, is now saying that Tehran got much more than anyone expected in the new deal.



Commentary:
The USA has been at a cold war with Iran since 1979 - 43 years.
The same with Venezuela for the last 20 years.
Suddenly now, as a cheap prop for our newest war with Russia - Biden has given all that up! Just like that! He's now making deals with the Ayatollah and Maduro!
It really makes you wonder what it what joe is up too.
It also proves how incredibly important their new war with Russia is. Yes! The Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats have been planning this for some time.
Rather than turning on the spigots at home, Biden would rather increase inflation and crises at home and go to our enemies.

ehm... the Persians (Iranians) once had a great Empire, and they want it back. So do the Russians. and the Chinese want to become a legitimate world-power.

besides, i don't know if you noticed it : this is a warrior planet. you see it in nature (even plants combat eachother for root space and sunlight), you see it in the animal kingdom of course, but humans are not immune to that tendency.

some say we should overcome this, and they're not wrong.

but i don't see it happening within the next 500 years or so..

we got the space-age coming up, with possibly wars between humans on Mars and Earth even.

Good. That will ease this oil supply trouble.

The rest of the world gives that honor to Israel or its poodle.

Iran hasn't invaded another country in 2000 years. Israel bombs one of its neighbors every Wednesday afternoon. Who. pray, is the terrorist?
 
ehm... the Persians (Iranians) once had a great Empire, and they want it back.
Iran hasn't invaded another country in 2000 years. We've used atomic weapons on civilians.
