Biden Will Unilaterally Lift Some Iran Sanctions

The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday that the Biden administration is prepared to lift sanctions on Iran that are “inconsistent” with the 2015 nuclear agreement. The move is being made after a weekend meeting in Vienna with the major powers and Iran, where “constructive progress” was made toward the United States rejoining the nuclear agreement.

“We are prepared to take the steps necessary to return to compliance with the JCPOA, including by lifting sanctions that are inconsistent with the JCPOA. I am not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.

Apparently, Iran, which is wildly out of compliance with the accord, won’t have to do a thing.

Biden’s abject surrender to Iran isn’t a surprise. It’s perfectly in keeping with the progressive playbook on negotiations in that the first step is to admit the United States was morally wrong and to seek forgiveness. Eventually, the sanctions will be lifted and Iran will be free to go about the task of dominating the region and confronting Israel.

Indeed, there is a school of thought on the left that actually believes it would be for the best if Iran were able to dominate the region. The fate of Israel would be of little consequence, but allowing Iran to create a theocratic empire would bring stability to a highly unstable region.

The Biden administration is operating under the delusion that Iran actually wants to cooperate with the West on taming its nuclear program and become a normal, grown-up country that would play by international rules and norms.
