Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the Biden administration’s promise to adhere to a new nuclear agreement was “meaningless” without guarantees that the United States would not again unilaterally withdraw from the deal in the future.
negotiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama, President Donald Trump reimposed the lifted sanctions and added more for what he called “maximum pressure” that would cause Iran to capitulate.Instead, Iran has gone far beyond the limits imposed by the agreement, increasing the quantity and quality of enriched uranium that is necessary to build a nuclear weapon. Iran has repeatedly said it has no intention of developing such a weapon.
As the possibility of a new deal has become increasingly doubtful, the administration has added to the list of sanctions against Iran, while attacks against U.S. interests in Syria and Iraq that it charges are the work of Iranian proxies have increased. Iran has worked to circumvent U.S. sanctions by exporting much of its oil to China and selling weapons to Russia — including what the United States have said are weaponized drones being used in Ukraine.
