Last December, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani stated that he had no doubt that Joe Biden’s administration would “bow” to Tehran. Now Rouhani’s chief of staff, Mahmoud Vaezi is claiming that “all issues of insurance, oil and shipping have been agreed, and about 1,040 sanctions from the Trump era will be lifted according to this agreement.”
Biden’s reputation as a weak leader, even a puppet, is damaging to American interests, particularly given the hardline, murderous history of incoming Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. Hamas is also happy with the Biden administration.
Israel has stated that it is not going to be bound by any nuclear deal. Israel’s new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has stated: “Raisi’s election is, I would say, the last chance for the world powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement, and to understand who they are doing business with. These guys are murderers, mass murderers.”
“Iran says US agreed to remove 1,040 sanctions from Trump era in nuclear talks,” Times of Israel, June 23, 2021:
As part of nuclear talks in Vienna, Washington has agreed to lift sanctions on Iran’s oil and shipping sectors, as well as to remove several senior officials from its blacklists, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s chief of staff said Wednesday.
“All issues of insurance, oil and shipping have been agreed, and about 1,040 sanctions from the Trump era will be lifted according to this agreement,” Mahmoud Vaezi told reporters on the sidelines of Wednesday’s cabinet meeting.
Officials who would have sanctions removed included several figures from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s inner circle, he said….
Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi, an ultraconservative cleric seen as close to Khamenei, said on Monday he would not allow the nuclear negotiations to drag on.
A day earlier, EU negotiator Enrique Mora said that those involved in the talks were “closer” to saving the Iran nuclear deal but that sticking points remain.
And Iran’s envoy to the Vienna talks, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, said that “at this point, it is clear which fields, which actions are possible and which are not. Therefore, it is time for all sides, especially our counterparts, to be able to make their final decision.”
Araghchi added that “bridging the gaps requires decisions that mainly [the US] has to take. I hope in the next round we will travel this short distance — although it is a difficult one.”
Israel has always opposed the nuclear agreement, which it says could enable the Islamic Republic to develop nuclear arms.
A change of Israel’s government just over a week ago — which saw long-serving prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu ousted from office — has not changed the country’s policy on the matter. In a speech just before being sworn in as premier, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed staunch opposition to an American return to the deal.

By now, Europe and the rest of the world should be convinced that every Democrat administration will lift sanctions, and every Republican administration will re-impose them. Which would then beg the question: would establishing normal trading relations w/ Iran be a workable long term business strategy?
Any CEO in countries that don’t wanna be blacklisted by the US would do well to keep their sanctions on Iran alive, until such time that Iran ceases to be an islamic republic

It’s sort of like a good cop bad cop routine but it doesn’t do America’s credibility much good to flip flop with despots like this Raisi and let them off the hook, Trump had them where they should be and that’s where Biden should have left them.
I don’t understand what is in it for America, what are they going to get in return? a promise from a terrorist like Raisi that they won’t build the bomb? What a joke, you would have to be as gullible as the day is long to believe Iran’s lies.
Infidel says
When a party has an ‘America last’ policy, ‘What is in it for America’ is the wrong question to ask

I wonder what bribes the Dems, the corrupt Bribed-man Crime Family and ‘Lurch’ are all receiving from the ‘Death-to-America’ country???
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is continuing the same old terribly flawed policy of his former boss ,Obama , of striving to make happy those Muslim tyrants of that “mullah regime” by appeasing them by granting them every thing they want .
So Biden isn’t a weak and feeble -minded idiot .
This is because since hes’ masquerading as a real American President ,he’s a dangerous weak and feeble -minded idiot.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s those Muslim tyrants of Iran had actually meddled and interfered in the American presidential election by supporting the Biden bid for the Oval Office during the elections year of 2020.
This is because that Mullah president of Iran and others in power well understood that ,unlike President Trump, they would easily be able to control ,manipulate and use as tool wreak and feeble minded Joe Biden to fulfill their Shiite Islamic goals.
So now in the year 2021 is their stooge and useful idiot to archive they want to obtain on their Islamic agenda.
One of the many reliable sources that will confirm this is the video documentary TRUMP CARD by Dinesh D’ Souza.

Walter Sieruk says
Spiro, ,you are right that so called “election” last November was indeed, a fraud. .
This is the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no real US President. Instead, now this country Installed figurehead.
Joe Biden is a pseudo president.
