Biden’s Iran strategy is a threat to regional partners and US interests

The Biden administration has signaled its intent to weaken or lift sanctions against Iran that it views as “inconsistent” with the failed 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal. Biden’s overhyped campaign rhetoric was critical of the previous administration’s decision to withdraw from the dangerously flawed JCPOA.

Today, Biden’s foreign policy team is in chaos, caught between the reality of Iran’s dangerous intentions and his campaign rhetoric. Make no mistake, Biden’s leadership weakness on this issue will pave the way for Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional efforts to destabilize its neighbors. We must not allow Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, to obtain or develop a nuclear weapon.
