Iranian foreign minister says Biden’s nuclear waiver “is not enough” as regime rushes to build a bomb.
President Joe Biden’s administration has lifted sanctions on Iran’s ‘civilian’ nuclear program in a desperate bid to restore the 2015 nuclear deal. “Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed several sanctions waivers related to Iran’s civilian nuclear activities,” The Associated Press reported Friday. “The move reverses the Trump administration’s decision to rescind them,” the news agency added.
President Biden’s waiver paves the way for private companies and state-owned players from Russia, China, and Europe to help Iran build up its nuclear infrastructure, news reports confirm.
The sanctions waiver will enable Iran to develop its Arak heavy-water reactor, Bushehr nuclear power plant, and Fordow nuclear enrichment plant, Reuters noted. All these sites are deeply involved to Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program.
With its nuclear facilities working towards a bomb, Tehran dismissed Biden’s latest concession as “insufficient.” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian declared on Saturday that the waiver “is not enough” for the regime to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
Reuters reported the Biden administration’s massive concession to Iran:
President Joe Biden’s administration on Friday restored sanctions waivers to Iran to allow international nuclear cooperation projects, as indirect American-Iranian talks on reviving the 2015 international nuclear deal with Tehran enter the final stretch.
The waivers had allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to carry out non-proliferation work to effectively make it harder for Iranian nuclear sites to be used for weapons development. The waivers were rescinded by the United States in 2019 and 2020 under former President Donald Trump, who pulled out of the nuclear agreement. (…)
The State Department has sent a report signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Congress explaining that restoring the waivers will help the talks in Vienna on returning to the deal reached between Iran and a group of countries including China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the United States. The agreement is formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“The waiver with respect to these activities is designed to facilitate discussions that would help to close a deal on a mutual return to full implementation of the JCPOA and lay the groundwork for Iran’s return to performance of its JCPOA commitments,” according to the report, a copy of which seen by Reuters. (…)
The activities, according to the report, include redesign of Iran’s Arak heavy-water reactor, the preparation and modification of its Fordow facility for stable isotope production, operations, training and services related to its Bushehr nuclear power plant, among several other things.
Senator Ted Cruz called out the Biden White House for continuing to misinform the public. “President Biden and Biden-Harris officials are lying to journalists and the American people,” Sen. Cruz wrote on Twitter. “They informed Congress that they are dismantling sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program, and allowing Russia and China to help the Ayatollah build up his nuclear weapons program,” he added.
The nuclear waiver granted by President Biden will only embolden Iran as it races towards a nuke. In December 2021, the United Nations’ nuclear agency, IAEA, admitted that Tehran was merely “a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%.”
In late December, Iran tested a series of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles. The military demonstration was aimed at Israel, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed. In recent months, an Iranian military spokesman has threatened to ‘annihilate’ Israel and a state-affiliated newspaper has published a list of possible missile targets in the country.

Joe Biden is either an empty -headed fool or a treasonous betrayer of America to restore that so called “deal.”
Doomer says
The word is out that Iran will have atomic bombs very soon. Leftists are playing a stupid game. Once Iran has bombs, it will destroy Israel.
Not that they care.Then Iran will,if necessary, strike Europe.
Terry Gain says
Obama is directing this. I think it is very dangerous to trust Iran not to nuke Israel given that Iran has been threatening to wipe Israel off the map for decades and perhaps as early as 1979.
This is not a case of MAD protecting Israel from a nuclear attack. Iran is big enough in territory and population to survive an attack. The tiny sanctuary of Israel will not survive a nuclear attack.

That crooked smile on Old Joe’s face really suits him. I wish I had a doormat with that picture on it so I could do to Joe what the Iranians are doing.
Infidel says
Yeah, b’cos an oil rich country that’s exporting oil to the likes of Venezuela certainly needs nuclear power to supply the needs of its population
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
True, but there may be an alternative explanation:
By not using much oil domestically – due to nuclear power – an oil-rich nation would have more oil to sell in the world markets.

That fiendish Joe Biden had just lifted more sanctions on that aggressive, hostile vicious America hating Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran should be of no surprise to any informed person about the real nature of the treacherous treasonous pseudo-US “President” Biden.
Joe Biden with his incessant striving to release and wave sanctions on that aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of Iran because, that Biden actually “owes” much to that Iranian “mullah regime.”.
This is so because 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 election’s year of 2020.
So now in the year 2022 that that “mullah regime” with 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
Joe Biden is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
Furthermore, it isn’t exactly a true statement to say “That there are some things wrong with Joe Biden” That is because the word “some” would put a limit on the vast number of things that are wrong with and about traitorous treasonous heinous and vile creepy old Joe.
OLD GUY says
I wonder what price Joe put on our lives. I suppose that to Joe the Iranians and the Taliban are just doing good business deals with him.
