Biden Waives Sanctions on Iran’s ‘Civilian’ Nuclear Program in Bid to Restore 2015 Deal
Iranian foreign minister says Biden’s nuclear waiver “is not enough” as regime rushes to build a bomb.
President Joe Biden’s administration has lifted sanctions on Iran’s ‘civilian’ nuclear program in a desperate bid to restore the 2015 nuclear deal. “Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed several sanctions waivers related to Iran’s civilian nuclear activities,” The Associated Press reported Friday. “The move reverses the Trump administration’s decision to rescind them,” the news agency added.
President Biden’s waiver paves the way for private companies and state-owned players from Russia, China, and Europe to help Iran build up its nuclear infrastructure, news reports confirm.
The sanctions waiver will enable Iran to develop its Arak heavy-water reactor, Bushehr nuclear power plant, and Fordow nuclear enrichment plant, Reuters noted. All these sites are deeply involved to Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program.
With its nuclear facilities working towards a bomb, Tehran dismissed Biden’s latest concession as “insufficient.” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian declared on Saturday that the waiver “is not enough” for the regime to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
Reuters reported the Biden administration’s massive concession to Iran:
President Joe Biden’s administration on Friday restored sanctions waivers to Iran to allow international nuclear cooperation projects, as indirect American-Iranian talks on reviving the 2015 international nuclear deal with Tehran enter the final stretch.
The waivers had allowed Russian, Chinese and European companies to carry out non-proliferation work to effectively make it harder for Iranian nuclear sites to be used for weapons development. The waivers were rescinded by the United States in 2019 and 2020 under former President Donald Trump, who pulled out of the nuclear agreement. (…)
The State Department has sent a report signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Congress explaining that restoring the waivers will help the talks in Vienna on returning to the deal reached between Iran and a group of countries including China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the United States. The agreement is formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“The waiver with respect to these activities is designed to facilitate discussions that would help to close a deal on a mutual return to full implementation of the JCPOA and lay the groundwork for Iran’s return to performance of its JCPOA commitments,” according to the report, a copy of which seen by Reuters. (…)
The activities, according to the report, include redesign of Iran’s Arak heavy-water reactor, the preparation and modification of its Fordow facility for stable isotope production, operations, training and services related to its Bushehr nuclear power plant, among several other things.
Senator Ted Cruz called out the Biden White House for continuing to misinform the public. “President Biden and Biden-Harris officials are lying to journalists and the American people,” Sen. Cruz wrote on Twitter. “They informed Congress that they are dismantling sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program, and allowing Russia and China to help the Ayatollah build up his nuclear weapons program,” he added.

The nuclear waiver granted by President Biden will only embolden Iran as it races towards a nuke. In December 2021, the United Nations’ nuclear agency, IAEA, admitted that Tehran was merely “a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%.”
In late December, Iran tested a series of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles. The military demonstration was aimed at Israel, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed. In recent months, an Iranian military spokesman has threatened to ‘annihilate’ Israel and a state-affiliated newspaper has published a list of possible missile targets in the country.

These idiots actually believe they have some type of power over the Iranians. They do not.
The Iranians already know how to build a nuclear weapon, the plans were given to them a decade ago. There is no plan or sanctions that will stop them from building a nuclear weapon and putting said weapon on a missle.
Hillary’s destruction of Libya set the standard for de-nuclearizing countries peacefully. As soon as you give them up, you get whacked. No tyrant who saw Khadiffi die in a ditch is going to give these things up.
They hate Israel. Iran is Israel’s chief antagonist and if nuclear capable, an existential threat. You only need to understand those two facts to understand everything that Team Biden does with respect to Iran.
Great Maker, just how blind & clueless is the Biden regime. There is no such thing as a “civilian nuclear program” in the theocratic state of Iran. If they have operating nuclear reactors then those reactors can and will be used by the Iranian government to produce & recover the necessary materials (U-235, Pu-239) to produce a bomb. Yes, it might be a sloppy bomb, low yield and all but a bomb. And the Biden regime is allowing them to do it.
Why would the Iranians stop their nuclear weapons programs when they’re already getting what they want? I guess the next thing Biden will do is to send them a few spare plutonium pits from Rocky Flats together with a planeload of money.
Actually, I’m VERY surprised the Iranians haven’t already bought some nukes from Pakistan. Either way, it will be up to Mossad and the Israeli Air
Force to keep Iran at bay.
Biden’s smiling because he doesn’t know what’s going on. You could explain it to him but five minutes later he wouldn’t remember. But somebody—a person or persons who are making decisions behind the scenes—are bat shit crazy.
Joe Biden was older on Inauguration Day than Reagan was when he left office. While the media talked about Reagan’s alleged cognitive issues almost from day one, they refuse to discuss Biden’s obvious cognitive impairment.
Yeah, but Biden has less wrinkles. He’s probably spent more money on plastic surgeons and hair plugs than the national deficit.
He knows what’s going on. This bastard is SO COMPLETELY CORRUPTED and compromised, that he’s willing to sell out our country to save his and Hunter’s hides.
A he’s a complete traitor. He has set the grounds for World War Three. And don’t think it’s not going to happen and in ways you never thought of.
We have two people to thank, and two people alone for the situation we are in:
1-Jeff Sessions
2-William Barr
But for their enabling and suboring the epidemic of corruption, sedition and treason at the highest levels of our government, our world would be 180 degrees different today – and the horrible days of tomorrow that have yet to come.
Thanks, Sessions. Thanks, Barr.
World War III being fought in unconventional ways and the horror that will follow is correct. I can’t fathom what is in store for the west by our seven-headed dread of the east. I’m afraid the entirety of the planet will be affected with 80% of the world population gone by 2032.. What a paradise left for the vultures, huh?
Barr FAR more than Sessions.
Sessions at least could be argued that he was just unsuited for the job, and too stupid and naive to really understand the level of corruption. He was a coward when he ‘recused’ himself then fucked around with pot sentences, he should have resigned (and Bitch McConnell is the ONLY reason Trump didn’t fire him).
Barr was far, FAR worse. We already had evidence of just how much corruption there was, and the fat piece of shit did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it, while lying his fat ass off that he was on the case. And that’s not even starting to talk about his utter dereliction of duty regarding election fraud – which he not only did nothing about, he actively prevented others from investigating until it was far, FAR too late.
Sessions was just a coward. Barr was a fat, lying weasel traitor.
Sessions was the enabler of Hillary Clinton’s capital felonies. Let me repeat that: CAPITAL felonies. He destroyed the credibility of the law. Sessions can play dumb all he wants: he’s as guilty as hell. Barr continued the treason.
The names Sessions and Barr are almost synomymous with Benedict Arnod – though Arnold wasn’t as odious a traitor as Sessions and Barr, nor did his treason cause the kind of horror Session and Barr’s treason has yet to fully manifest.
You forget who nominated Sessions and Barr; and what about Rosenstein and Wray? Trump did not learn the lesson of JFK picking his brother and Obama picking Holder in his nominations. Had he ignored Kushner and picked Chris Christie, I think Trump would still be President.
fjb and the junta strive to revive an “america last” deal–believe one day soon fjb wake-up asking “what’s going on with “our” iran deal?”and an aide will break the news: “they’re gone, joe. they’re just gone.”
My thinking Barky ordered it, and Iran will have a nuclear weapon soon.
Biden has no choice in the matter. Either he plays ball, or Hunter goes to prison.
Not to mention the “Big Guy”, he is as corrupt and compromised as the crack head son is.

And for his idiot wife: she is in on the scam to sell out our country, and for what? Her vanity. What trash.
8. “20 quid and a nykid lady! ‘N that’s my last offer!”
You have to understand that the Democrats and the American Left WANT an Iranian nuclear weapon. Right now, if the Iranians or their proxies do something to us or Israel, at least Israel can act to avenge it and that acts as a deterrent. Once Iran has its own nuclear force, it can claim to be the protector of any terrorists either here or in Israel and the Democrats will stand down and let them do it.

Fascists want fascist partners. It’s that simple.
This is appeasement in practice
Biden is a traitor, sold out completely to the Chinese Communist Party. He is following their orders to destroy the United States. He should be dragged out of the White House and hanged. Now.
We’re going to need more than a fancy cosplay hat.
