The EU and the Biden Administration Still Appeasing and Rewarding the Mullahs of Iran

The Obama-Biden administration had also kept the US Congress, the American people and US allies in the Middle East in the dark about what it was negotiating with the ruling mullahs of Iran. When Biden was vice president, the Obama administration made multiple secret deals with Iran's mullahs.
"[T]he JCPOA was designed as an instrument to break pro-Israel Democrats, who represent what Obama saw as the most powerful of the internal constituencies that might oppose his reordering of the Democratic Party. That is, the real realignment [ostensibly with Iran] isn't in the Middle East, which America is leaving anyway, but inside Obama's own party." — Lee Smith, Tablet, March 10, 2021.
While the Iranian regime has become more belligerent, the European Union and the Biden administration are still attempting to restore the nuclear deal that will lift economic sanctions on Iran, empower and embolden the regime, enhance its global legitimacy and pave the way for what the US State Department has called the "world's worst sponsor of state terrorism" to legally become a nuclear-armed state.
The Biden administration claimed that the nuclear deal was "off the table," but regrettably this statement appears merely an attempt by the administration to keep Congress and the public in the dark, to let their guard down, about the revival of the nuclear deal with Iran. A few days after President Joe Biden claimed that the nuclear deal was dead, Robert Malley, the U.S. special envoy to Iran, revealed in interview with RFE/RL's Radio Farda on December 22 that the nuclear deal is in fact not dead.
