This is good to see, but why did it take so long? Malley says that it’s about all the unreasonable demands that the Iranians are making, but those are nothing new. The mullahs haven’t changed. They’re behaving the way they have since 1979. Their hostility to the United States hasn’t changed, either. The Biden administration shouldn’t have been pursuing this deal in the first place. Only now, with international attention focused on the courageous Iranian protestors, it has become a public relations disaster to try to continue negotiations. That’s why they’ve suddenly become a “waste of time.”
“U.S. ‘not going to waste time’ on Iran deal right now, official says,” by Barak Ravid, Axios, October 31, 2022:
The Biden administration is not going to “waste time” on trying to revive the Iran nuclear deal at this time considering Tehran’s crackdown on protesters, Iranian support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Iran’s positions on its nuclear program, U.S. envoy for Iran Rob Malley said on Monday….
State of play: There has been no movement in the talks with Iran since Iranian officials rejected an EU proposal and presented more demands in late August-early September, Malley said….
What they’re saying: The nuclear talks are “not our focus right now,” Malley said.
- “It is not on our agenda. We are not going to focus on something which is inert when other things are happening…and we are not going to waste our time on it… if Iran has taken the position it has taken,” Malley said.
Between the lines: Another senior Biden administration official recently told Axios the White House position on the nuclear talks was even tougher.
- The official said that Tehran’s response to the protests coupled with Iran’s support of Russia’s war in Ukraine fundamentally changed the situation, and therefore, even if Iran came back to the table today and said it wanted a nuclear deal, the U.S. was unlikely to move forward.
- The official added that the administration is already looking at the situation as if there is no nuclear deal and is taking steps to ensure the U.S. has a ready military option….

Shame on Biden administration that a terror sponsoring nation should even dream to acquire nuclear weapons. America needs a strong arm to deal with these terrorists, who are not only terror exporters but butchers of their own. Where is the policy rethink in White House since half of a nation is against Islamic revolution and mullah regime? islam is not only phony, but also a fraud and manipulation of mankind.

Biden administration’s Iran top dog: ‘We are not going to waste our time’ on pursuing nuke deal
…………………………………………..
I guess even Biden finally realized that playing footsie with the vicious Mullahs murdering school girls for not wearing Hijab was pretty unpopular…

Kissing the robes of these malicious muffinheads, who hate our guts, would never have gotten anywhere anyway. The msm sure fell into line fast!

Hopefully the regime collapses due to the current unrest before Biden officials decide to reconnect w/ them and supply them another trillion $$$

Infidel,
Biden is so perverted and crooked that loads of contradiction don’t matter to him or his handlers.
