News that the Biden administration had caved to the demands of Iran and waived some of the sanctions currently imposed on them in a bid to get the talks in Geneva moving and restart the “Iran deal” that Barack Obama and Joe Biden originally set up in 2015 is concerning, but not surprising.
The waiving of sanctions was done in secret, with the White House not even informing Congress for ten days after the move was made.
This was supposed to be the carrot that would tempt the Iranians into making some concessions regarding their covert nuclear weapons program. This from hotair.com.
It didn’t take long to learn how well that was going to work. Reuters reported that the envoys from Iran not only failed to offer any new concessions, but they “walked back” all of the previous concessions they had proposed.
In the process, they put the gains they made from Biden’s handlers waiving some of our sanctions in their collective pockets and walked out. There is no projected date for when the talks might resume.
Iran walked back any compromises it made in previous talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, pocketed all compromises made by others and asked for more during indirect U.S.-Iranian talks this week, a senior State Department official said on Saturday.
Iran continues to accelerate its nuclear program in provocative ways and China and Russia were taken aback at how far Iran had walked back its proposals in last week’s talks in Vienna, the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
The indirect U.S.-Iranian talks on saving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal broke off on Friday as European officials voiced dismay on at sweeping demands by Iran’s new, hardline government.
The first question to address here is why any of the parties involved are acting so surprised.
Reuters is reporting that even China and Russia were “taken aback” by this latest reversal of Iran’s previous positions.
But many who have been following this process had been warning for some time that after Ebrahim Raisi took over, he was going to be a far more hardline adversary than his predecessor.
It may seem shocking to some that Iran would simply take the concessions they were given and walk out without offering a thing, but it was actually quite predictable.
They’ve been two of the primary players who have been helping Iran get around the current sanctions and continue to do business anyway.The only thing the Iranians have any respect for (or fear of) is strength. And they’re not seeing a lot of that coming from the other side of the table these days.
The U.S. State Department official who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said that he had no idea when the next meeting might take place.
But he made Joe Biden’s position quite clear, saying that “the date was less important than Iran’s willingness to negotiate seriously.”
Seriously? The Biden Regime was fleeced by a con man, who gave them each a wedgy before he vacated the premises.
And still the Biden handlers insist it’s important for Iran to come and “negotiate seriously.”
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 367 times in a row, kick me out of the room because I’m clearly not up for this game.
Note: Arms experts told NBC News this week that Iran is anywhere from “several weeks to two months away” from having enough fissile material to build a nuclear weapon.
Nobody can be exactly sure at this point because Iran has still kept all of the IAEA monitoring cameras in their nuclear development facilities shut down and they aren’t allowing any inspectors in.
Fortunately, however, the world is no longer depending on the Biden Regime to bungle this initiative any further.
The Iranians coming back to the table to “negotiate seriously” like responsible global citizens is not something the Israelis, my conjecture, will continue to await much longer. Plan on them making the strike the Biden handlers lack the testicular fortitude to do.
What the world needs now is the Israeli Air Force to set the Iranian nuclear program back to square one. No fuss-No muss.
