WASHINGTON — Many factors are to blame for the dying prospects of reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. But perhaps nothing has hobbled the Biden administration’s efforts more than the legacy of President Donald J. Trump.

But Mr. Trump did more than pull the plug. U.S. officials and analysts say his actions vastly complicated America’s ability to negotiate with Tehran.

Honestly, why couldn't the Biden administration do whatever it wants with Iran right now–e.g. give Iran whatever it wants? What has changed? Has something changed in Iran?

Why is the Biden administration hamstrung over Iran? I guess you have to think about it. Following the changes in Israel lately too. It seems like someone threw water on the long-planned conflagration for the Middle East. But hey, maybe that's not a bad thing.
