Biden may be on the cusp of another historic achievement.

[rightwinger]

Iran gets a nuclear device that they can use to threaten Israel, the U.S. gets nothing but empty promises from the Islamic jihad, the media lies to us about what a great deal it is, old Joe bumbles through a news conference and the Bidenistas high five each other. Another day in the propaganda world of the Biden administration.

That is because Trump tore up the nuclear deal and Iran restarted the program

It's a trade off for an agreement preventing Iran from acquiring a nuke. Why do you find this so hard to comprehend?

They didn’t follow the first agreement, and Obama gave them pallets of cash. Most people learn that you can’t buy friends early on in life buddy.

Actually they did and Trump's people told him they did and he tore up the agreement anyway

Lying again…..

• The IAEA first ignored the reports about Iran's undeclared clandestine nuclear facilities. This should not come as a surprise: the IAEA has a long history of misreporting the Islamic Republic's compliance with the deal and declining to follow up on credible reports about Iran's illicit nuclear activities.
• New evidence shows that Iran's theocratic establishment was most likely violating the nuclear agreement since the day that Obama's administration and Tehran struck the deal in 2015.
• The international community would truly do itself a great service to recognize that the nuclear deal was nothing more than a pro-mullah agreement which provided Iran's ruling clerics with billions of dollars to pursue their anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Iranian people and pro-terror activities, while simultaneously providing cover for Iran to pursue its nuclear ambitions.

Evidence that Iran Violated the Nuclear Deal Since Day One?

A renewed Iran nuclear deal appears closer than ever. Here are the remaining sticking points

Iran appears the most optimistic it’s been in years about finally clinching an agreement on a renewed version of the 2015 nuclear deal with the U.S. and other foreign powers.

Iranian negotiating team adviser Mohammad Marandi said on Monday that “we’re closer than we’ve been before” to securing a deal and that the “remaining issues are not very difficult to resolve.” And the European Union’s “final text” proposal for the deal, submitted last week, has been approved by the U.S., which says it’s ready to quickly seal the agreement if Iran accepts it.

Still, there are obstacles to rescuing the Obama-era pact, which lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for a range of limits on its nuclear program. Iranian negotiators responded to the EU’s proposal, pointing out the remaining issues that may yet prove impossible to reconcile.

And the stakes are high: the more time goes by, the more Iran progresses in the advancement of its nuclear technology — far beyond the scope of what the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the 2015 deal’s original signatories say is acceptable.

Clearly nothing is certain but there is reason for optimism. It would be quite a success for the world's and the ME's security if Iran agrees not to develop nuclear missile capabilities after the colossally idiotic decision by Trump to blow up the previous agreement. Not to mention it would likely lead to more oil being added to the world's market, further pressuring the downward price spiral oil has been on for months. Lowering the price of oil being good for the country but bad for the political fortunes of those who wish the country harm, Repubs.

Likely the first Jackass impeached over dementia

On 20 March 2017 the Trump administration formally certified that Iran was in compliance with JCPOA, but added that the country will be subject to non-nuclear, terrorism related, sanctions.[56] The Trump administration refused to recertify Iran's compliance in October 2017, however, citing multiple violations.[57]

Because you are stupid does not mean the Federal government is

our Govt, in a bipartisan fashion rejected Obama/iran partnership. It was never ratified cause it was so horrible

so by October Iran was in violation…not surprised

That's not at all what that said

 

[lantern2814]

That was one of the concerns expressed at the time of his monumentally moronic decision. But then he never contemplated the consequences of his buffoonery. Nor was he interested in them. He isn't a strategic thinker. He's a self-serving reactionary.

Sure. Because letting a terroristic regime start producing nuclear weapons was such a good idea. Only in the world of idiots like you, Xiden, and most leftards here.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Exactly and no one ever has trusted Joe Biden.

He screwed up SO many things nobody will forgive this diaper wearing Dementia Biden. The only ones that like him are brainwashed Liberals.

"If Trump does decertify the accord as expected, it would put him at odds with Defense Secretary James Mattis, who last week said Tehran was “fundamentally” in compliance with the agreement and that the U.S. should stick with the pact."

That's not at all what that said

um yeah it is

The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani confirmed that it had received the U.S. response via EU senior official Enrique Mora, who acts as a mediator and coordinator of the talks. Iran still refuses to talk directly with the U.S. “Iran has started reviewing the US comments, and after the review Tehran will submit its views to the coordinator,” Kanaani said.

The U.S. response is expected to focus on final sticking points related to Iranian demands for economic guarantees and sanctions relief. U.S. officials were tight-lipped about the substance of the response. When asked for details, the official familiar with the matter said the response contained “a bunch of words and sentences and paragraphs.”
A person familiar with the U.S. response said it focused on the issue of economic guarantees. The person declined to give details, but said the response “falls short of Iran’s expectations. So now we have to see if they realize this is as good as it gets or decide to push for more.”

Negotiations appear to be inching toward the finish line.

This is a case of the lessor of two evils. The worst case scenario being the negotiations fail and Iran becomes a nuclear armed threat in the ME and beyond.

They didn’t follow the first agreement

Not according to IAEA inspections.

Biden is highly trusted around the world..

Sorry, but that was an idiotic statement...

Trump did major damage to US reputation worldwide, he made them untrustworthy.

US soft power has been incredible for decades, Clinton probably got it to its pinnacle before Bush got in.. US could pieces around the globe with a couple of whispers in the ear...
Clinton (described to me personally by another country former Prime Minister) was a fucking rock star, he made other world leaders into groupies and knew how to fucking use it...
