Top Democratic senator opposes reentering Iran deal under previous terms
[IsraelTimes] Chris Coons
...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School....

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

nuclear deal without agreed limitations on Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its support for belligerent proxy groups throughout the Middle East.

Coons, seen as a potential pick for secretary of state in President-elect Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
’s administration, told Rooters the deal would "need a path forward for limits on their missile program and their support for proxies before I would support reentering the [accord]. These need to happen at the same time."

Biden has said he would seek to reenter the 2015 deal that US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
abandoned in 2018.

As Biden prepares to enter office in January, recent days have seen representatives of several Mideast nations voice their opposition to an American return to the deal in its previous form.

Israel’s Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer said Monday that it would be a "mistake" for the incoming administration to reenter the accord.

"I think it would be a mistake and hopefully he will look at the Middle East as it is, he will see the benefits of [the normalization] process, of how he can continue that process, and I think to not go back into the same deal," Dermer said during a panel with his Emirati and Bahraini counterparts in Washington.

Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif al-Zayani on Wednesday also urged the incoming administration to consult with its allies in the Middle East before renegotiating a nuclear deal with Iran.

"We need to be consulted if the US pursues such an agreement with Iran," al-Zayani said. "Any nation concerned by Iran’s belligerence should, and will, make their case."

Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
’s former ambassador to Washington, Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, on Tuesday cautioned the same.

"While we all aspire to have Iran back as a normal peaceful nation-state within the international community, the last forty years’ experience with the Iranian regime is not encouraging," said Faisal in a speech to the National Council on US-Arab Relations, in which he also warned Biden against repeating past "mistakes."

Any non-comprehensive agreement "will not achieve lasting peace and security in our region," he said, lamenting that the nuclear deal "did not rationalize Iranian destructive behavior in our region," which he said is no less of a threat than its nuclear aspirations.

The nuclear deal with Iran was clinched in 2015 when Biden was vice president.

At the time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led an aggressive public campaign against the accord that climaxed with a speech before a joint session of Congress that was organized behind the back of then-president Barack Obama
How much damage could he do in four years?... Eight, then...
Netanyahu warned then that the nuclear deal taking shape "paves the path for Iran" to a nuclear arsenal, rather than blocking it, and urged American leaders to walk away from what he called "a very bad deal."

Since Trump pulled out of the accord in 2018 and began imposing crushing economic sanctions on Tehran — a move that was cheered by Netanyahu and other Israeli officials — the Islamic Theocratic Republic has retaliated by producing more and more highly enriched fissile material in violation of the agreement, getting closer and closer to a bomb, while still leaving room for a return to negotiations.

This nuclear brinksmanship has continued over the past two years, fueled in part by the Iranian regime choosing to wait for the results of the 2020 presidential election, in order to determine how best to bargain with the United States.

The Trump administration is reportedly planning a bevy of wide-ranging sanctions on Iran to make it more difficult for the incoming administration to reenter the deal.

During the recent presidential campaign, Biden and his aides slammed Trump’s 2018 decision to bolt the agreement, arguing that it allowed Iran to progress toward acquiring a nuclear weapon. They pledged that a Biden administration would work to renegotiate a "longer and stronger" deal.

Israel is preparing for the shift in US policy toward the region, with the Walla news site reporting that Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has set up a small team in his office that will be tasked with producing a strategy to ensure Jerusalem is kept in the loop on the administration’s efforts to re-enter the nuclear deal.

"We do not want to be left out again," Ashkenazi said in a closed briefing before the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last week, according to Walla.

The foreign minister said the government should refrain from repeating past mistakes that left it isolated as the B.O. regime negotiated the 2015 agreement.

Iran is the region’s leading Shiite power and tied to groups in the region including its proxy Hezbollah, the Syrian regime and Paleostinian terror groups in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Taking a step back from the brink, Iran’s foreign minister said Tuesday that Tehran was willing to return to the nuclear deal if Biden lifts sanctions on Iran after entering the White House.

"We are ready to discuss how the United States can re-enter the accord," Zarif told Iranian media, according to a translation by the Rooters news agency.

"If Mr. Biden is willing to fulfill US commitments, we too can immediately return to our full commitments in the accord... and negotiations are possible within the framework of the P5+1," Zarif said, referring to the six world powers that signed onto the deal.
