It was last week that a senior official of the Zionist regime said that Biden had made it clear in his telephone conversation with Lapid that whether an agreement is reached with Iran or not, Israel will protect itself against Iran without any restrictions and the words Today, Tom Needs also confirms this.

Needs continued his words: “Biden understands Iran’s hostile (actions) and said in a phone call with Lapid last week that America will never tie Israel’s hands and prevent it from defending itself.”

The American ambassador to the occupied territories said: “The Biden administration wanted a diplomatic solution with Iran, but only on the basis of the conditions he has determined.”

The new round of talks on lifting Iran sanctions was held in Vienna a few weeks ago. This round of negotiations was held after EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell claimed in an article in the Financial Times newspaper that he had put a new proposal package on the table that contains updated solutions regarding the lifting of sanctions and Iran’s nuclear steps.

The Islamic Republic of Iran announced on August 24 that it has submitted its response and considerations regarding the proposals of the European Union. America has also given its own answer to this text. EU foreign policy official Josep Borrell has described Iran’s and America’s responses as “reasonable”.

Analysts say that some factors such as pressure from the Zionist regime, disagreements with Congress and internal problems in the United States have been the reason for the reluctance of the Biden administration to return to the JCPOA in the past months.

Biden came to office in 2021 when the policy of maximum pressure against Iran had failed to achieve its goals. In addition to failing to form a new nuclear agreement, this policy caused division in the relations between the countries on both sides of the Atlantic, endangering the effectiveness of the sanctions system as one of the main tools of American foreign policy, and most importantly, strengthening the anti-arrogance trend in Iran. .

The Islamic Republic of Iran has made the verification of the lifting of sanctions, obtaining guarantees regarding the durability of the JCPOA and the removal of safeguards claims of the Atomic Agency as its main demands in the negotiations to lift the sanctions and has emphasized that only returning to the bilateral agreement, which in exchange for some restrictions, will bring tangible economic benefits to the Iranian nation. He considers it logical to be accompanied and accepts it.

American legislators, who are mainly from the Republican Party, have tried to express their political opposition to the JCPOA in various ways in the past few months, including writing letters to representatives of the executive branch, introducing plans to oblige the American government to ask for an opinion from Congress, and holding various meetings. Express publicly.

Analysts say that this type of opposition cannot be considered as a reflection of the real concerns of this group of politicians about the JCPOA, rather, they are sometimes a part of a broader strategy that the American ruling body as a whole pursues against Iran.

According to these analysts, such oppositions are sometimes their own goals rather than seeking to achieve other goals. From the point of view of a group of American legislators, the mere presence of opposition to the JCPOA and doubting its future can limit Iran’s opportunities to benefit economically from this agreement. According to this group, the tool of opposition to JCPOA can also be a good bargaining lever for American negotiators in Vienna.

On the other hand, such objections are also applicable to members of the Republican Party in internal political conflicts in America. The representatives of the Republican Party know that they can settle the necessary political accounts with him on the eve of the mid-term elections of the Congress by challenging the Biden administration in the category of entering the JCPOA.
