In an interview with CBS News, President Biden rightly rejected Iran’s demand that the U.S. first remove all sanctions imposed on it, in return for Iran’s restored compliance with the 2015 JCPOA nuclear accord.

In the interview, which will air just before the Super Bowl on Sunday evening, Biden was asked by Norah O’Donnell, “Will the U.S. lift sanctions first in order to get Iran back to the negotiating table?” The president responded, “No.” O’Donnell followed up, “They have to stop enriching uranium, first?” Biden nodded in affirmation.
