Biden Won't Lift Sanctions Against Iran

In an interview with CBS News that aired on Super Bowl Sunday, President Biden announced that his administration will not lift economic sanctions imposed on Iran unless the regime complies with the terms of a 2015 agreement to curtail its nuclear enrichment program.

Biden was asked by CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell whether the U.S. would lift sanctions to get Iran back to the negotiating table and he replied, “No.”

O’Donnell then asked if Iran has to stop enriching uranium prior to negotiations, to which Biden replied with an affirmative nod.

Iran reached an agreement with the U.S., China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom in 2015 to limit its enrichment of nuclear materials in exchange for those nations lifting economic sanctions. 

Do you agree with Biden keeping economic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program?
