Ratcliffe says ‘no intelligence’ supports rejoining Iran deal

Former President Donald Trump’s final spy chief argued there is “no intelligence” supporting the United States rejoining the Iran nuclear deal as the Biden administration calls on a defiant Tehran to come back into compliance.

As President Biden explores the prospect of rejoining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, John Ratcliffe, who served as the director of national intelligence, said Monday that the U.S. should not loosen any sanctions on Iran or rejoin the deal that the U.S. left in 2018 during the Trump administration.
